Gina Batie’s non-profit Black Girls Are Beautiful Movement, Inc began as a way to promote positive images of African American women and women of color in media.

Her organization now actively works to strengthen our communities through financial empowerment, physical and mental health. She is working on providing scholarships for girls graduating high school.
