What if the narrative you've been told about Black women's education was disrupted and rewritten by the very women it aims to define? That's exactly what my guest, Jen Franks, the founder of Disruptive Truth LLC, is doing with her groundbreaking project, Black Women World Record. Join us as we navigate this transformative journey, honoring Black women's academic achievements, and challenging the societal norms.
As we delve into this enlightening conversation, we uncover Jen's inspiring journey to Harvard and how she's using her experiences to empower Black women through storytelling and speaking disruptive truths. We discuss the phenomenal response to the celebration on Ruby Bridges' birthday, where over 1000 black women proudly shared their graduation pictures and certificates online. From high school diplomas to PhDs, we celebrate all forms of education, and Jen enlightens us on how the act of speaking one's disruptive truth can challenge existing power structures and create a positive change.
Ever wondered about the power of self-love and resilience? We explore this, drawing from the inspiring lyrics of Lauren Hill's music that resonate with the importance of self-respect and love for black women. We also discuss the upcoming documentary about Black Women World Record, a testament to the power of celebrating Black women's stories and achievements. Come, join us on this inspiring journey that highlights the importance of disrupting the norm and celebrating the achievements of Black women.
