Our Theme
This year’s Black Girl Rally theme is “I Make My Joy: Unlocking expressions of creativity can bring you joy.” The full-day agenda aims to ignite each girl's imagination, inspire her next big idea, and serve as a catalyst for positive change. This creative, fun-filled event will include:
Shop with Us: Joy Market (Open to the public)
The community is invited to shop the “Joy Market”, a vibrant marketplace full of local creators, designers, collectors, and curators, a DJ, and food trucks. Virginia Union University students and surrounding college students can enjoy discounts on food and treasures by presenting a school ID.
Eat with Us: "Where Black Girls Create Joy" Chew & Chat (Rising 6th- 12th grade girls only)
The evening activities will focus on teaching girls how to tap into their creative joy, even under stressful conditions. Girls For A Change will host a dinner and panel discussion featuring dynamic Black women in creative industries who will share how they use creativity to spearhead movements, leave enduring legacies, and cultivate joy.
Create with Us: Creative Industry Workshops (Rising 6th -12th grade girls only)
Skilled facilitators will guide attendees through a series of creative exercises, ranging from T-shirt screen printing to virtual reality experiences, aimed at helping every girl identify what brings them joy and how to incorporate it into their daily lives.
