How can you help ?
Short answer: Invest in and support women of color! Resources and platforms dedicated to the empowerment, community, and success of women of color are scarce. Across layers of society and systems, little investment is put into the improvement of the state of women of color in this country and globally. So, how can we move the needle? And, how can YOU help? By sponsoring, supporting, and donating to Speak Truth to enable us to do programming and provide resources that directly impacts girls and women of color and to support and collaborate with other organizations and initiatives, that align with our mission.
