Melanin Uprising and Black Swan Academy present "#MISSINGDCGIRLS: A Conversation With Youth Of Color" on Saturday 8 April 2017 from 1pm-3pm. The event takes place in the Community Room at 4020 Minnesota Avenue NE.  The conversation is for youth of color between 13 & 25 years old.  

"We have always believed in fostering environments where our youth can lead, take action and be socially and emotionally supported.  We are joining forces with the community to convene a safe space for DC youth of color to 1. access information about our missing youth.  2. Discuss action steps they'd like to take to FIND missing Black girls but also PROTECT Black girls and youth from harm in and outside of their homes.  3. Share what support they need to make their vision a reality."
