Season 1 Reflections and Recap

Tinesia Conwright, Gabriela B. Delgado, and Janedra Sykes Why AAGOC? Tinesia, Gabriela, and Janedra joined together to create a space that women of color can collaborate to support girls of color. Our goal is systemic change, because we firmly believe that when girls of color are in truly supportive environments they naturally thrive and the world benefits.  Links to our work: * Tinesia’s nonprofit, HOME - Detour Empowers [http://detourempowers.org/] * Janedra’s firm Home – Arboreta Group, LLC [http://arboretagroup.com/] The AAGOC Data Dashboard The AAGOC Data Dashboard [https://www.allaboutgirlsofcolor.com/data-dashboard] is based upon the Healthy Places Index, a large data set that translates eight indicators (economic, education, healthcare access, housing, neighborhood, clean environment, social, and transportation) that can determine the health outcomes for a specific geographic area. Girls of Color often live in environments that contain obstacles to their inherent ability to thrive. This dashboard provides the data that supports the case for systems change.
