Giving Season is the time of year that we express our gratitude. We show gratitude for our family, friends and to those who have helped us along the way.   Black Girls Smile is grateful that we can be one of the few nonprofit organizations that address the unique mental health needs of young Black women, girls and nonbinary folks. We're also grateful for the 10,000 community that we have cultivated over the past decade of being in existence. It is through this community that we've met you: the amazing donors, volunteers, and partners who are also dedicated to ensuring that Black girls, women, and nonbinary youth are able to live mentally healthy lives.   As an expression of our gratitude for your support, we would like to invite you to our upcoming end-of-year events in New York City (12/4) and Atlanta (12/9). If you're interested in attending, please message us. This is a great event for those who have been following our journey and are looking to deepen their support of Black girls, women and caregivers' ability to live mentally healthy lives.
