Women's Leadership Project Los Angeles Presents : #Standing4BlackGirls Music & Poetry Festival 2026

LOS ANGELES - EntSun -- Women's Leadership Project Los Angeles (WLP L.A.) proudly presents the #Standing4BlackGirls Music & Poetry Festival on Saturday, July 18, 2026 at the Glorya Kaufman Community Center in Culver City. This free, intergenerational celebration honors the creativity, brilliance, and voices of Black girls, queer folks and young women through music, poetry, and community.

For more than twenty years, the Women's Leadership Project Los Angeles has advanced gender and racial justice, civic engagement, arts education, and youth leadership. The festival reflects WLP's commitment to creating joyful, healing-centered spaces where Black and BIPOC young people are affirmed, empowered, and encouraged to lead.

The #Standing4BlackGirls Music and Poetry concert festival will feature original multi-genre music and spoken word performances by Black female-identifying and queer artists. Headlined by internationally acclaimed singer-songwriter-guitarist Malina Moye, the event will raise awareness about disproportionate gender-based violence experienced by Black women and girls in L.A. County and beyond, while providing powerful testimony to the lived experiences and creativity of local and national Black women artists, musicians, and BIPOC community allies. Other featured artists include Mystical Joyride, Naomi Wilson, Sonja Rene, Tamia Elliott, AYEL, Javen Lara, Ella Faye, the Maurock Music Academy and the WLP tribe.
