We’ve been blessed to spend much of Black History Month digging into our new initiative, Teacher Truth: A BlackFemaleProject Production. Teacher Truth is an industry-specific story collection project focused on Black educators. We’re excited to hear stories from classrooms, administrative offices, and wider school communities, and we look forward to sharing this curated content with the BlackFemaleProject network. If you're an educator in the state of California, today's the final day to take our Teacher Truth survey.

The series will explore: How can we use lessons learned from intersectional lived experiences and center the voices of those who navigate complex social structures to teach us how to lead with love, and empathize with those who represent difference in our lives? How can we use our voices to counter pervasive racism and sexism in schools, outside of school, in the workplace, and beyond?
By elevating positive models and affirming gender identity (in multiple forms), together we will challenge race and gender biases by learning new ways of thinking about others. Learn more and registerhere.

We believe in the power of storytelling to spur healing, growth, and confidence among Black women and girls to support them to step into leadership and work through barriers of oppression. We hope that BlackFemaleProject narratives will not only encourage more Black women and girls to follow their own paths, but also illuminate patterns of intersecting injustices for our employers, colleagues, and all people. Help us share more stories.
