I would absolutely recommend BGR Queens camp to a friend. This is because I’ve gained so many sisters from all over the world. I’ve gained self-confidence and empowerment. I’ve learned that its not okay to settle for anything less than you want. I’ve gained all of the things needed to be a success in life and i would want my friend to become a better person and to experience all that I have experienced if no more.

I just want to personally thank you and tell you how much I appreciate you. Because of your vision and willingness to give something to the community, other young ladies and myself continue to be proud of the skin we are in and realize that we are the true embodiment of everything we aspire to be. Thanks for introducing me to my love of tap dance, DJing and to every other artistic workshop we took. The plays, shows, conferences, empowerment circles and taste the world sessions all had the biggest part to play in me choosing a college. BGR helped me to discover my love for all things arts and justice related. I love my people and you for being such a monumental part of my life.
