"Thank you for creating a space where people can share valuable knowledge and skills. Today we left mentally, physically and spiritually full", said a participant from the summer B.A.G. Retreat.
Sharron Tendai is a native north Philadelphian, now living in DC, and Shari Gilmore grew up in Jamaica, Queens (NY) and now lives in Philadelphia, PA. The friends met in 2003 while both studying Journalism and Public Relations at Temple University. In 2019, the two conceptualized an empowerment program called Poetry and Education. The purpose of the program was to provide interactive workshops and outlets, and for self-reflection to young women of color. While this program was never implemented, it was the seed that grew into Get Her to the B.A.G.
