Founder fran frazier asked about 100 women to write love letters to Black girls last year. Teens at East High School listened to some on Friday.
Tifani Kendrick stood at the podium inside the East High school auditorium Friday morning, her long locs flowing down her shoulders, and started humming.
following the death of Ma'Khia Bryant, a 16-year-old who was shot and killed by a Columbus police officer as she swung a knife to stab a young woman during an altercation outside a foster home where she lived on the city's Southeast Side. Some of those letters have since been compiled into a small book,"Love Letters to Black Girls."
Tyson said she got involved with the project because she wants to support Black girls and make sure they know they are loved and cared about. "One way we can triumph with good is for you to share how you feel and let others know about the pain or confusion you are experiencing, especially right now," she said."The voices of your village want you to know that we are surrounding you with love and support. What having this village means is that Black women in this community have your back."
