BlackGirlsEmpowered

BlackGirlsEmpowered (BGE) started in 2022 as a social group for Black women in Cleveland and is now evolving into a mission-driven enterprise. Our vision is to empower Black women and girls by providing targeted programs and services in education, economic development, and community support. Rooted in empowerment and connection, BGE is expanding from a supportive network to a transformative force. By amplifying voices and bridging disparities, we strive to create opportunities for thriving lives and stronger communities nationwide.
