Black Girls Unite
Who Are We?
Black Girls Unite (BGU) is an organization founded by Black women which aims to provide a safe space and platform that promotes our diversity, interests, and self-love- as well as a place to talk about our concerns and issues. Our goal is to help womxn gain a voice for themselves and to become a support system for both communities that are at Michigan State and for those that are located off-campus
A Safe Space
BGU serves as a safe space for womxn of all sizes, skin tones, ethnicities, socioeconomic backgrounds, sexualities, religions, and identities on MSU's campus
Additionally, although BGU is an organization that was created to give a focus on the intersections and issues that apply to Black womxn, everyone is invited to join us. Since we aim to educate and love one another; if you are willing to be respectful of others, give acceptance, and contribute to our discussions, you can come to our meetings!
Resources
Black Girls Unite wants to create a support system in our community and to construct a network of opportunities and resources that are easily accessible to anyone who may need them. Listed below are links to a few wonderful resources that are mostly located within the Lansing/East Lansing area. If you know of any other foundations/organizations that should be added to this list, please message us or add it to the "resource" page in our forum!
