Malikah Berry Rogers talks about The Southern Black Girls and Women’s Consortium

ABOUT THE SOUTHERN BLACK GIRLS AND WOMEN’S CONSORTIUM:

Who They Are

The Southern Black Girls and Women’s Consortium (Southern Black Girls) is a collective of Black women in philanthropy, activism and girls’ work, who hold deep roots in movement-building. Established in 2017, Southern Black Girls has become a disruptor in grant-making and is positioned as a catalyst to fundraise and provide greater resources toward underfunded organizations that, intentionally, support and empower Black girls and women in the South. Southern Black Girls recognizes their critical role and the importance of centering the lived experiences and leadership of those most impacted by deep-seated injustices. The organization is led by four anchor institutions including the Appalachian Community Fund, the BlackBelt Community Foundation, the Fund for Southern Communities and the TruthSpeaks Innovation Foundation. The collective also includes a host of grassroots and advocacy partners, who are actively engaging in this work across the region.

The visionary founder of Southern Black Girls is LaTosha Brown, who is also the co-founder of Black Voters Matter.

The executive director of Southern Black Girls is Malikah Berry Rogers, who is the voice that will be speaking on behalf of the organization during today’s interview.

Why They Are

Fed up with reports confirming that Black women and girls receive less than one percent of the $4.8 billion in philanthropic investments in the south, Southern Black Girls and Women’s Consortium made it their mission to raise $100 million over the next decade to financially empower the goals of Black girls and women. To date, they have already awarded $3.7 million to 221 Black women-led organizations and 504 girls across 13 southern states - Alabama, Arkansas, East Texas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia.

Being on Crack on Beatties Ford road

Being on Crack on Beatties Ford road

I don’t know what it’s like to be on drugs or addicted to crack or be a regular marijuana smoker. I never popped pills or any of that but I do have empathy for my people when I see them in that condition. The other day talked with a brother that I see frequently on Beatties Ford Road and LaSalle, and we had a conversation about his crack addiction and how he was struggling with it.

A 39 year old woman has 38 Children. I wish I had a big family like that! Family Reunions and keeping the tradition going in todays episode.

She's been dubbed the most fertile woman in Uganda! At the age of just 39, Mariam Nabatanzi from Uganda is already a mother to a whopping 38 children. All these children are fathered by one man, whom she was married off to when he she was just 13 years old. He was 43 at the time. Somehow we got on the discussion of family reunions and how we don't have large families anymore like our grand parents.
