EMPOWERING THE NEXT GENERATION THROUGH TRANSFORMATIVE EVENTS
From career workshops to inspiring speaker series, The Up & Coming creates spaces where Gen Z changemakers learn, connect, and grow.
GIRLS INSPIRING TOMORROW
Girls Inspiring Tomorrow was first launched in 2022 under Black Girls Talk as a space for young Black girls to see the impact their peers were making in women’s rights, climate justice, and social justice. The goal was to inspire the next generation of changemakers by showcasing young leaders who were igniting change in their communities.
Now, Girls Inspiring Tomorrow is returning under The Up & Coming, with a renewed focus on entrepreneurship, branding, and social impact. This event will equip the next generation of leaders with the knowledge, strategies, and connections to build businesses, elevate their brands, and drive meaningful change.
