The Beautiful Project

Your voice is not too loud.
Not too soft.
Not too much.

It’s necessary. ✨

Lift Every Voice is a poetry cohort for Black girls ages 14-18 designed to build confidence, agency, and self-expression through free-verse writing and performance. From March-June 2026, participants will grow in sisterhood, meet weekly, and close out with a powerful public showcase.

If you’re ready to locate your voice, strengthen it, and use it boldly. This space is for you. 🩵

Parents, teachers, mentors, and community members - if you know a Black girl who deserves a space to be heard, seen, and affirmed, please encourage her to apply.

Applications are now open. Visit the link in our bio to Apply!
