Reintroducing Beverly Bond

Would you believe Black Girls Rock started with a T-shirt? Bond told BlackEnterprise.com, “First I started the T-shirt and was thinking of all the incredible women to list on it. I was writing down all of these names and just couldn’t fit them all. In my attempt to try, I said, 'This is bigger than just a shirt.' So I decided to start a mentoring program.” The fly shirt has since expanded into a full range of tees and hoodies that are currently available for purchase through the organization’s website store.
