Yesterday, the 3rd Annual Black Girls Rock! hit the television waves hosted by Regina King and Tracee Ellis Ross. Black Girls Rock! Inc. is an non-profit youth empowerment and mentoring organization which promotes the healthy development of young black women and girls. The organization aims to,

“To build the self-esteem and self-worth of young women of color by changing their outlook on life, broadening their horizons, and helping them to empower themselves.”
