Following their first community event in Harlem, the EEAP Coalition held a second panel discussion titled “Be-YOU-tiful: A Conversation About Black Girls, Education, and Confidence” on May 21, 2021, at Bak2Basics Salon in Brooklyn.

Hair educator Keya Neal, Teacher and Beauty Coach Treanna Neufville, and EEAP Coalition Leaders Adrian Straker, Nina Simone Stovel, and Michelle Patterson discussed self-confidence and self-love in the face of an education system that doesn’t always recognize and celebrate Black girls’ beauty and brilliance.
