From Urban Girl To Black Pearl
What People Are Saying
“Black PEARL has taught me to accept who I am and love myself even more. It has taught me to carry myself like a young lady and to represent girls of color in a positive way. It has taught me more about my culture and the importance of having a high self esteem. I am thankful for this program and wish I could be in it until I finish college!”
— Renea Smith
Former Black PEARL Memeber
“I’ve seen a huge improvement in the overall behavior, esteem and performance of our Black PEARL Members. This program is helping so many young girls grow into women.”
