Global Girl Media (GGM) empowers female identifying and gender expansive young people, ages 15-25, from underserved communities by developing their media literacy skills and teaching them how to produce impactful, female-forward journalism.
We proudly support their annual Summer Intensive Media Training Program, which helps train twenty young women from low-income backgrounds in South and East Los Angeles neighborhoods to understand the role that media plays in shaping identity. Additionally, these women learn about the contributions of female BIPOC leaders that work to positively change society’s cultural and political landscape.
