MEDIA ADVISORY: When Black, Brown, and White Meet – A national conversation with GenZ girls on race and diversity

What is racism, why does it exist, and how we can harness our differences for our collective success? 

New York, NY — Girls With Impact will host a national conversation on July 2nd for GenZ girls (ages 11-24) on race and diversity – When Black, Brown and White Meet. 

Even prior to the George Floyd crisis, race and equality have been top of mind for GenZ, those born in the mid-1990s and just now entering the workforce.

“Just because you’re my friend doesn’t mean you’re not racist,” says student Kayli Cooper, 15, a Girls With Impact graduate.

According to Girls With Impact’s report,  60% of GenZ men and women want to personally drive social change.  Students have developed ventures ranging from an LGBTQ community to a soon-to-launch book platform – Mirror Me Diversity -- by Kristen St. Louis, 15, from the Bronx.
