Addressing Black Women’s Needs Through Systematic Change
Citizen SHE envision a Louisiana that respects and responds to the multidimensional needs of Black Women from every walk of life. SHE is weaving a new tapestry of engaged Black Women who will become Louisiana’s advocates, operatives, decision makers, and power brokers. SHE’s work reorganizes Louisiana’s power structures to recognize Black Women as activists, leaders, and influencers who represent a crucial base of power. SHE’s strategies include leadership development, policy creation, collective advocacy, mobilizing Black voters, and engaging policy makers.
A Social Service Organization
It is our belief that learning and growing happen in tandem and if we are going to grow our collective global influence we must also teach and develop new leaders so that the ecosystem grows and is sustainable. These projects focus primarily on:
1. Demystifying multilayered community engagement.
2. Best practices for creating leader networks and communication within those networks.
3. Best practices for media training and public speaking.
4. Best practices for messaging around specific issue organizing.
Projects for Women
Citizen SHE hosts, partners with, and posts about various activities that allow Black Women to participate in society and talk about community issues. We encourage everyone to join us in these programs to advance our cause.
What We Do and What You Can Do
