Where Black Women study the brilliance of their Black Girlhood through the study of art
Black Girl(hood): The Anthology
Black Girl Saturday School® is an immersive experience where grown women courageously journey back to their girlhood seeking their brilliance through the study of art. We study the language, history, and culture of Black Girlhood as a way of identifying, naming, reclaiming, and honoring those sensual parts of ourselves that we knew then, and still know now.
Once we’ve taken that journey back to our girlhood – which can oftentimes be daunting, or joyous, or wild – we arrive back to our womanhood with a deeper, more sophisticated knowing of who we are and who we have always been. This time, however, we stand in the fullness of our sensual selves minus the gaudy adornments placed on us by society, religion, family, classism, etc., and on and on and on.
And after we’ve placed our sacred girlhood at the center of our study, by remembering lyrics from a favorite song and what part of our soul those lyrics touch, or by reminiscing on the types of relationships or scenarios we promised ourselves we would never be in, we accept that holy and cathartic assignment of storytelling. This anthology is a manifestation of those stories of wisdom and intelligence and brilliance that was almost abandoned in our girlhood. But these women knew better: they redeemed their brilliance.
