Brown Girls in the Boardroom (BGBR) was launched as a result of our founder looking around many of the Corporate Boardrooms and realizing that there is no one else in the room that resembles her. She quickly learned that perhaps her passion to help empower young girls should start with letting them know that they have a voice and they too can be heard in the Boardroom.

The Boardroom does not solely represent the Corporate Boardroom, but it signifies having a seat at the table and being able to make leadership decisions.  BGBR offers the lens of hope which will allow girls to see their possibilities. BGBR fills in the gaps and reminds girls that they are not alone and provides needed answers girls may not have had before. BGBR provides access to a bigger world because our mentors give girls exposure they may not otherwise get; and in some instances, did not know they needed. BGBR will work to increase academic interest and performance because we encourage educational excellence. BGBR will build confidence and self-esteem by showing unconditional love, support and care.
