Our Story

Womanism reinforces what has been forgotten in feminist conversations throughout history, that all women deserve to have their stories told. Still, our own personal intersections with race and gender, affect how we navigate this world, and view feminism. Ladies First, will stand as an organization where Young Black Women of all backgrounds can feel safe and have a platform to discuss issues and topics that affect them and how they socialize with the world, navigate school, athletics, and beyond. The mission of Ladies First is to establish an engaging and intellectual community where black female students of all cultural backgrounds can come together and raise awareness of the many facets of Young Black Women's experiences in high school; including popular culture, politics, history, and relating these topics back to diasporic roots
