We’re back! For our second annual ESSENCE Girls United Summit, we’re going to shake things up, have much-needed conversations, and help you navigate the real world. We’re excited to bring you some familiar and fresh faces as we dive into content creation, honoring LGBTQIA+ icons, fashion, mental health, financial management and more.
This year, we’re live in Atlanta, Ga and sharing this special experience to HBCU students on October 9, 2021 from 3 pm — 7 pm EST.
We know you’re hyped to hear from people like artist and model Selah Marley, fashionista and content creator Jasmin Corley, organizer and co-founder of Freedom March NYC Chelsea Miller, musician and influencer Kaelyn Kastle. The event will be hosted by Jazz Anderson and also feature input from artist and activist Tangina Stone, poet Ernestine Johnson, McDonald’s owner and operator Danesha Smith and more.
