CELEBRATION, RE-EDUCATION & HEALING OF BLACK GIRLS

WELCOME TO THE HOME OF THE
2018 UNIQUELY YOU SUMMIT FOR GIRLS

FOR THE LAST 8 YEARS WE'VE BEEN HELPING BLACK GIRLS UNIQUELY DEFINE, DISCOVER AND BECOME WHO THEY ARE.™

The UNIQUELY YOU SUMMIT is an experiential dialogue that unites black women and girls of similar backgrounds in order to eliminate the perception of isolation, and meet self-esteem needs not addressed by conventional outreach and instruction.  By discovering the universality of their feelings and experiences, the barriers to becoming who they are are lifted.

This one-of-a-kind annual two-day forum serves as a catalyst to evoke a much-needed conversation that addresses the complexities of being a black girl in America.

Never underestimate the power of A well-informed & determined black girl.

“Discovering who you are as a young woman is one of the most important steps in womanhood, and the UNIQUELY YOU organization is a wonderful support system and network for young girls – providing them with invaluable tools for self-awareness, identity, self-care and self-love. I am so happy to align my efforts with UYS as we continue to unapologetically serve black girls!”

The UNIQUELY YOU SUMMIT, as well as its social media outlets, provides an opportunity for girls to discuss issues that are prevalent in our community, and provides a safe space to discuss these issues with a focus on solutions, healing & growth. Young women & girls have the opportunity to meet other girls their age, as well as mentors with whom they can form lifelong bonds.

The UNIQUELY YOU SUMMIT is part of a larger movement to empower, build up and mobilize young black women & girls.

He's been a UYS staple for years! And we're so glad to have @RayRPA of @beu365 back to lead our HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS & DATING RESPONSIBLY 101 discussion. This session is an interactive conversation about dating on campus with current college students @aquildawud, @pinsandlapels & @elijahjw_ . The workshop is designed to help young women make a well-informed transition to college by equipping them with practical tips and 'real talk' on how to avoid potentially harmful relationships and unnecessary attachments. The heart of this session will clearly outline how the relationships they develop will directly impact their college experience. . . And a huge thanks to @kev_carr for helping us prepare for this session by providing us with questions to spark a healthy and candid discussion. . . #ForTheLoveOfBlackGirls! #DatingResponsibly #DatingInCollege #CollegeLife #Relationships #Dating #FreshmanYear
It brings us great joy to have @_ashleymfox of @empify BACK for #ForSeniorsOnly2018! She will, as she did during the inaugural FOR SENIOR ONLY! Program in 2016, facilitate “MANAGING YOUR COINS IN COLLEGE.” . This workshop will help girls forge a healthy relationship with money, and introduce them to the fundamental basics of money management. So many young women during their freshman year make the mistake of opening lines of credit that leave them with not only student loan debt at the end of their four years of college, but also the often overwhelming burden of credit card debt! A debt that could have been avoided with the proper financial knowledge as an incoming freshman. . Our intention is to provide these seniors with a tangible understanding of money, credit, budgets, and overall finances in order for them to make well-informed decisions when it comes to their #COINS! . #ForTheLoveOfBlackGirls #BettaHaveMyMoney #MoneyManagement #Credit #Debt #Wealth #CollegeLife #WealthBuilder #WatchMeReverseOutOfDebt #PayMeInEquity #AshleyMFox #Empify
With the help of Philly-based Visual & Performance Artist, @ShaninaDionna, we will introduce the regular (and critical) practice of self-care to seniors with a focus on mental health and spiritual wellness through #art. . This Sunday, Shanina will facilitate Part 1 of "THE NECESSARY ART OF SELF-CARE FOR BLACK GIRLS” as part of #ForSeniorsOnly2018. . “Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.” – #AudreLorde . #ForTheLoveOfBlackGirls

In the last 24 hours we’ve received over 25 (and counting) “Sponsor A Senior” donations for our #ForSeniorsOnly2018 program! WOW. WOW. WOW! BLACK WOMEN, you are the reason UYS has been in existence for 9 years! You are the reason we’ve been able to provide black girls with a safe and empowering space to grow, discover more about themselves and thrive for 9 YEARS! THANK YOU. 99% of our donations come from you! No corporation. No major company support. BLACK WOMEN. BLACK WOMEN! Very Important: For those of you wondering what we’ll do with funds that supersede the 5 sponsorships that we requested yesterday… Whatever monies we raise beyond the 5 we needed, will go toward our #ForTheLoveOfBlackGirls Scholarship (learn more here: http://www.uniquelyyousummit.org/seniors-only/#scholarship-guidelines). We are running our scholarship fundraiser concurrent to the "Sponsor a Girl" campaign, where we’ll be awarding college scholarships to 2 high school seniors who must be #ForSeniorsOnly2018 participants. Whatever money we have in excess of "Sponsor a Senior" will roll over to our Scholarship fundraising, and we will split the money between the two qualifying recipients. The money will then be paid directly to the school where those two young women will be enrolled first semester freshman year. But please continue to donate! We need your support as we work to meet our scholarship GOAL. You can donate on our website at http://www.uniquelyyousummit.org/seniors-only/#sponsor-a-senior OR join our #GoFundMe campaign: https://www.gofundme.com/fortheloveofblackgirls. Forever indebted, Shaleah & TEAM UYS Why we do it? #ForTheLoveOfBlackGirls How it happens? The LOVE & SUPPORT of #BlackWomen
