5 Reasons Why You Don’t Want To Miss Girls United Summit 2022
Forever the blueprint is the theme of 2022. For the Girls United Summit happening on November 5, 2022, cultivating a space where young people can use their voices without feeling judged and out of place is why this event is so vital. The summit allows conversations in the community, and what better place to do it than in Atlanta?
With this being the third year for this event, there must be some heavy-hitting panels, workshops, and discussions about what young women are facing in this climate of society that authorizes serious conversations about how we are feeling and what we’ve been going through. “GU is the future, and this summit solidifies how impactful directly connecting with Gen-Z can influence our future thought-starters and leaders,” said Nandi Howard, Content Director of ESSENCE and ESSENCE GU.
“I couldn’t be more excited to return to the city of Atlanta for the 3rd Annual Girls United Summit. We are going even bigger this year, bringing our community access to career and content creator-focused workshops and panels featuring some of culture’s hottest ‘it girls’ laying the blueprint,” added Rechelle Dennis, Girls United Lead. “Our audience will have the chance to network and explore our beauty and fashion pavilion, followed by a musical performance. It will be a jam-packed day celebrating Black women’s ability to overcome adversity and exceed expectations EVERY damn time. We are forever the blueprint.”
