Hartford Athletic Goes to BGA celebration
Black Girls Achieve spearheaded by Taniqua Huguley, M.A.
hosted the BGA Goes to Trinidad Reflection and Celebration at 30 Laurel St. Hartford.
Black Girls Achieve, is an enrichment program designed to provide Black girls with the necessary skills and tools needed to navigate Black girlhood. Their programming themes include advocacy, career readiness and entrepreneurship, education, health and wellness, and women and girls empowerment. Since 2020, they have been able to serve over 300 girls in Connecticut, New York, and Trinidad and Tobago. They host a year-round program in Hartford County, CT.
This year, they took eight girls from Hartford County to participate in a week-long trip to Trinidad and Tobago in July 2024! The girls learned about and explored the country’s culture and traditions while forming meaningful bonds with one another. In addition to cultural immersion activities, the girls led workshops for girls in a local school in Trinidad.
Hartford Athletic in collaboration with our Green and Blue Foundation was honored to present some fun gifts to the girls, and we look forward to working with them hand in hand in the future.
