Message to all youth:
"Stop bullying!
You are hurting yourselves,
other kids, their parents, your parents, and entire families.
Just STOP IT!
Some kids are committing suicide
as a result of their pain as bullying victims.
Don't let the loss of their lives
become your lifelong guilty consciences!"
Miss Vickie, August 2011

of the societal ill, BULLYING, here.

We have to learn to respect and love ourselves. We can't let others say that we are worthless, not loveable, and that we are not going to amount to anything. We are smart, educated Black girls. We can amount to anything we choose, so we have to stick together and learn to love ourselves. We are Black girls.

Our Theme Song

Every day we are forced to deal with
the trials of life.
And so many other
kids' words
cut like a knife.
We must stay strong.
We must not cry.
We will survive!
These days,
it's a struggle to stay alive.

Chorus:
We are T-B-G-C DEBS!

Determined...
Empowered...
Beautiful...
Successful...
Yes, we are!
And we will always be.

We have work to do,
preparing for our futures.
Our destinies await us...
And one day,
we will step into them.
We must stay focused on
what lies ahead.
There are others depending on us,
to lead our generation
to the next level,
for sure.
To all the dysfunction
in the world today,

strong leadership shall be
our cure.

(repeat chorus)

We can't all rap or sing.
Some of us need to discover,
to explore, to create, to teach,

we may even be called
to preach.
Based on humanities' history,
there are so many paths
we could take.
Our own futures
we shall make.
Don't rattle us,
we won't shake.

We stick together because
we've formed a bond.
We will always be
TBGC sisters,

Other special treasures near and dear to our hearts...
