In this episode of PLATFORMS, we sit down with Fran Frazier, educator, community leader, and founder of Black Girl Rising, to explore womanhood, belonging, healing, and the shared experiences women carry across generations and cultures.

Fran shares how decades of work with girls, women, schools, and communities shaped her approach to mentorship, emotional wellness, and community building. Together, we discuss the importance of listening to young people, creating spaces where women feel seen and valued, and why storytelling can help heal division and build connection across communities.

From pioneering one of the largest research studies focused on Black girls to organizing intergenerational spaces of prayer and belonging in Columbus, Fran reflects on faith, intuition, leadership, and the power of women supporting one another.

This episode is a conversation about identity, community, sisterhood, and what it means to build spaces where people can fully belong.
