Our Mission Statement

Write On, Black Girl is a magazine that serves as an archive of original poetry, short stories, memoir, photography, and art created by Black girls* in grades K-12 and undergraduate studies.

This magazine is meant to be a collection of works that will benefit Black feminist and Black girlhood studies. 

We aim to build a network of professionals, community organizers, and artistic creators who are dedicated to using their own resources, expertise, and institutional powers to support those who have been historically silenced and marginalized. 

Our ultimate goal is to bring all of our voices into print culture to redefine hurtful stereotypes that have been imposed on us. 

We hope that Write On, Black Girl:

1. Affirms validation of authorship and creativity for Black girls*
2. Recognizes the political significance of the intersections of transgender, cisgender, and non-binary identities
3.  Creates space for selected participants to present their work before a live audience
4. Acknowledges the power and importance of writing and art created by all participants

* We'd like to clarify that this includes transgender Black girls and non-binary Black folx
