She Matters Summit Week
September 4-6, 2025

THE 10TH ANNUAL EQUITY SUMMIT & AWARDS CEREMONY

For the past decade, the She Matters Summit has been a powerful platform for advocacy, education, and action to advance equity for Black girls. This milestone year celebrates the collective impact of those who have worked tirelessly to create pathways for Black girls to thrive—while looking ahead to the future we continue to build together.

This year’s theme, “A Decade of Collective Impact: Celebrating Her Power, Her Future,” reflects our commitment to uplifting Black girls and the communities that support them. Through thought-provoking discussions, healing-centered activities, and actionable strategies, we will honor the progress made and the work that still lies ahead.

Join us for a fully in-person experience featuring dynamic discussions, interactive workshops, and community-driven solutions to ensure Black girls are seen, heard, and supported.
