Caregiver Page : Navigating Black Guurls SpaceÂ
I made this a list so you can skim it quickly! (-Rev.Crystal)
1.This a space for our young black girlies (femme-inclusive ) and their caretakers who are looking for ways to build and explore Black identity.
2. The content is geared toward tweens and teens
3. We would love to display artwork from your small ones too
4. We, the Sister Souurce director and emeritus director, are both are coming from a perspective of expansive spirituality, non-judgment, and progressive ethical lenses. This is interfaith work, so will never proselytize. In a nutshell: we cool here.
You and your young person are welcome as your full self.
5. This is the page to check if your young person comes to you asking for things like a keychain!
A little about Sister Souurce: We are the first and only organization dedicated to Black UU women, girls, and femmes. We are a 501 (c) (3) Non-Profit based in Atlanta, GA, with virtual ministries that span the US, the Caribbean, and Africa (for now!). We have in-person opportunities coming to Atlanta and Delaware, starting in early 2026.
Here is a one-liner of what we have for your young person on the other page:
Black GUUrls Space is raising up your presence and reminding you that your voice has power.
