Never a wounded woman.....
Statistics show that when urban youth have no outlets or exposure to environments outside of their elements teen violence, gangs, teen pregnancy, and the education drop out rates rise.
Artina Sharpton & NYOIL have combined resource and efforts to host Black Bird Fly.
Black Bird Fly was born to facilitate the cultural, social and personal growth of young women through the collective intervention of concerned Women and Men of Distinction by introducing young women to the myriad lifestyles available to them.
Black Bird Fly is a conference and ball inspired by the Beatles song of the same name. The lyrics “Blackbird singing in the dead of Night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, you were only waiting for this moment to arise…” speak volumes to what we feel the young girls and women of our communities are experiencing. They are waiting for a moment to arise from the conditions that have stifled their growth into Ladies of exception and myriad possibility.
The aim of the conference is for women of all classes and backgrounds to share their lives, the pitfalls and the triumphs with young women between the ages of 10-21. The conference portion of the event will give the attendees an opportunity to take part in multiple workshops seminars and forums on March 27th, 2010.
Mach 28, 2010 the Black Bird Fly ball is designed for young ladies to discover their more elegant side. Young ladies must have a partner to participate in this ball.
