About Because Black is Still Beautiful

Our mission is to build pathways to liberation for Black women and girls Because Black is Still Beautiful. Our programs and services include: - The Missing Link, an intergenerational kinship pilot program for formerly incarcerated Black women between the ages of 16-24 and 50+ in a collaboration between Because Black is Still Beautiful and Young Women's Freedom Center. It is not a mentorship program. We believe that each generation is equally important and has the ability to teach and learn from each other. We acknowledge that the barriers which exist from incarceration, as well as racial/gender discriminatory practices are lifelong experiences. We all matter! That's why we call it a kinship. Our focus is healing, bonding, and improving overall wellness. It is our desire to make this program a model for other Black women across the country BECAUSE BLACK IS STILL BEAUTIFUL. - 100 Degreez, a culturally affirming program that promotes academic engagement and retention for Black women who have overcome tremendous obstacles, such as but not limited to incarceration and addiction in order to collectively create systemic change. - Seminars and trainings that are designed to assist key stakeholders in the community with improving outcomes in the lives of Black women with histories of incarceration. We also offer staff training and development with the same goal in mind. To learn more, contact us at bcuzbisb@gmail.com.
