Our Theme Poem “I DREAM...©” In The Black Girls’ Corner™, I dream of a world where I am thriving and striving. I am surviving. I have stepped into success, in my dream. I am learning to be me, whomever that may be. I’ve let “me” out and I am free. I step out of my box and others see who I am. And I’ve found more Black girls, like me. In The Black Girls’ Corner™, I can act, sing, dance... I get my point across. In THIS little part of the world we call The Black Girls’ Corner™, I have an outlet... A voice. I have a choice to hide who I really am, OR to let my light shine to touch those around me. In The Black Girls’ Corner™, I hear of... a bright future for me, but... I must do my part. I must participate in the blossoming of me... in The Black Girls’ Corner™. One day, I shall step out of The Black Girls’ Corner™, into my destiny. To other Black girls around... Can I share my “Corner,” with YOU? You will be transformed TOO... from girls to young ladies. In The Black Girls’ Corner™, you may recognize me and see a reflection of yourself. In The Black Girls’ Corner™, I dream of a world where you are you, and I am me. We are free! I dream of the day when I step out of The Black Girls’ Corner™ and the world sees ME. © 2010 Vickie L. Hughes, J.D. ("Miss Vickie") Current Session Location: Sugaw Creek Recreation Center/

The Black Girls' Corner, Inc.™ (TBGC™) was founded in June 2010 by Vickie L. Hughes, J.D., M.A., aka "Miss Vickie". This youth empowerment mentoring organization assists minority girls, ages 10-15, and their mothers (or other caregivers). The uniqueness of our organization is that we get the mothers (or other caregivers) involved and engaged in what our girls/debutantes are doing and/or learning! The Black Girls' Corner, Inc.™ bi-weekly sessions could be held anywhere... For now, we've chosen a cozy little spot, nestled away in Charlotte, NC. We created and will always own our quite unique and original name! Our organization name is not representative of a specific place, but rather a designated space where minority girls can come and be themselves; discover who they are; grow and learn; uncover and display their talents; and reach their potential individually and together. Our first session was held on June 12, 2010. We have a core group of 16 TBGC Debutantes™ (our Founding Members/Debutantes), who attend with their mothers (or other caregivers). As of June 2011, our group of Debutantes has grown to 25. They love being a part of TBGC™ and "they keep coming back!" Please note: The Founder is very protective of our Debutantes and for that reason, you will only see our Debutantes' first names listed (sometimes with a first initial of one's last name, if another Debutante shares the same first name and spelling of it) (with the exception of our Biography section), and no Debutante appears in any photographs alone on our site (with the exception of our Biography section). Our youth are THAT important to protect! Vickie L. Hughes, J.D., M.A. ("Miss Vickie") Founder/Executive Director (June 2010 - present) - The Black Girls' Corner, Inc.™ Mailing address: P.O.

have ever questioned your calling or wondered how God was gonna do it, STOP!!!! My daughters have never
been as excited about ANYTHING as they are about the The Black Girls' Corner! I don't know
much since, "What goes on in The Black Girls' Corner STAYS in The Black Girls'
Corner", but I do know that they are excited about being a part of.... This morning Mikayla stood behind me in the mirror and said, "Mom, I'm beautiful, I'm smart, and I'm VERY talented" I said, "Yes, baby I know, did you just figure that out", she said, "Well, kinda...I just learned alot at The Black Girls' Corner yesterday!" Then.....Suniece bolts downstairs this afternoon with her netbook in her hand and says, "Mommy look!" And I read your note to her. She passed it to her daddy and we all high-fived! ...You my dear are bringing something out of my babies and I am grateful! Continue to allow God to grow your vision....and anticipate GREATER things!" -Carmalita A. Longino-Sims, Mother of two Debutantes (Mikayla and Suniece)
