Empowering Black Girls & Gender-Expansive Youth to Thrive
In October 2022, The Collective Identity Mentoring (TCI) launched its in-person program at L.A. Grind, with four girls a local coffee shop in Los Angeles. Since then, we have grown by leaps and bounds, becoming a recognized student organization at the University of Southern California and now serving a thriving cohort of over 20 youth through mentorship, community, and culturally affirming experiences.
The Collective Identity Mentoring creates a safe, affirming space for young Black women to explore who they are, embrace their power, and define their own path through one-on-one mentorship, community, and culturally rich experiences
