That they do. And you can help black girls rock even harder by supporting the 4th Annual "Black Girls Rock" Awards fundraiser this Saturday, October 17 at the TimesCenter in NYC. The event is co-hosted by Regina King and Tracie Ellis-Ross. Award honorees include: Queen Latifah, Mary J. Blige, Dr. Sonia Sanchez, Naomi Campbell, Raven Symone, Janelle Monae, DJ Spinderella, Iyanla Vanzant, Dr. Mehret Monfredo and Anthony Hamilton.
The tickets may be steep but it is directly inspiring young people around New York City. Black Girls Rock is a Brooklyn-based non-profit, founded by DJ Beverly Bond, provides mentorship along with arts and media education to "at-risk" teenage women of color, focusing on cultivating self-esteem and positive self-imagery, during a critical time in their lives. Whatever your situation (it is a recession), you can still donate via their website.
