As of January 29, 2019 I have officially ended my involvement with Girl Develop It due to leadership's lack of response to systemic racism within the organization.
For those out of the loop, there were series of unacceptable events that began to come to light in August of 2018. More details can be found in this open letter to the GDI board, including a timeline of events. an-open-letter-to-gdi-board.com
In the 6 years I have been teaching for Girl Develop It, I have enjoyed the work I have done and the vibrant, supportive, diverse and talented community that grew from GDI Philly. I invite you to join the GDI Philly community as it moves on in a new form. Please join our We-Evolve Slack community!
