Ep. 14 I AM My Sisters Keeper with La'Keisha Gray-Sewell
In this episode, LaKeisha and I discuss the importance of providing young women with safe spaces and the freedom show up as their authentic selves, how adults should set the tone and how her non-profit is seeing to it that Black girls use media to push back against "respectability politics".
La'Keisha Gray-Sewell is a new media relations and strategic communications consultant by trade, and a girls advocate by life assignment. An internationally recognized urban girls advocate, a media literacy expert, and speaker, La'Keisha founded Girls Like Me Project Inc. to train girls in media literacy and empower them to navigate beyond negative media stereotypes to become global legacy builders. Under her leadership, GLMPI has served more than 700 girls through its transformative programs and events.
The mission of GLMPI is to help African American girls ages 11-17 critically examine social, cultural, and political ideologies in media so that they will be able to overcome stigmas and negative stereotypes. We equip them with the tools and strategies to become influential, independent digital storytellers who transform their communities and foster global sisterhood.
