About the Event
In January 2020, the Delaware Chapter of the National Coalition of 100 Black Women (NC100BW-DE) partnered with the University of Delaware’s (UD) Partnership for Healthy Communities (PHC) and the Delaware Department of Health and Social Services (DHSS) to initiate a study about Black girls in Delaware. The Center for Research in Education and Social Policy (CRESP) at UD was contracted to conduct the study. Â
The NC100BW-DE sought Delaware State University (DSU) Women and Gender Studies as a contributor of personal narrative papers written by undergraduate students. Â
The study highlights the lived experiences of Black girls and adolescents to contribute to policy discussions that favorably impact Black girls in the state. Â Through a collaborative process, the group decided that focal topics in this study would be health, self-esteem, relationships, racism, school experiences, resilience, and social media use.
We invite you to explore the authentic voices of Black girls and adolescents in Delaware.
