Proceeds from this and other FROM HERE TO HER events will be donated to support TRUE Skool’s 2013 “Be Girl Project.” ABOUT THE BE GIRL PROJECT: Named as a double entendre representing hip-hop’s arts-based Bgirl culture and the program’s commitment to encouraging girls to just “be girls” rather than assimilating to the highly sexualized, mature view of young women we see in the media, the Be Girl Project is dedicated to nurturing self-worth, social-emotional intelligence and increased critical thinking skills among high school-aged girls. Through gender-specific workshops, issues-based campaigning and arts and community service projects that touch on social justice, sexual health, reproductive justice, access to education, equal pay/rights and employability, participants will contribute to a paradigm shift in perceptions about girls and women in media and society while gaining leadership experience and deepening relationships with female peers and mentors. The 2013 program kicks off with a daylong interactive event at the University of WI-Milwaukee on March 27th featuring panel discussions, breakout sessions, performances by national hip-hop artists Jean Grae and Pharoahe Monch, and more.
