Pictured: we are not just walking. We are bringing our whole families along. Shout out to the Carlton family in Chicago out on this beautiful hike.
Dear GirlTREK Family,
The first Foremother Badges are arriving in mailboxes this week. Did you get yours?
If you’ve completed Self-Care School, now’s the time to grab yours — a powerful reminder of the care you chose, the commitment you made, and the community that’s walking with you.
Even more powerful? Send a set to a woman or girl you love. Let it be her invitation to start the 10-week journey.
Buy your badges—or gift a set today
These aren’t just tokens. They’re symbols of solidarity—proof that we are building a system where Black women don’t just survive… we support each other to thrive.
And this summer, that’s what we’re organizing around.
We’re calling it the Summer of Solidarity—a season of sharing, spotlighting, and scaling what already works.
And the first step?
We’re starting with your businesses.
If you’ve started something, offer a service, or are building a brand—we want to hear from you.
This summer, we’re using our platforms to spotlight the brilliance inside this movement, beginning with the businesses of GirlTREK members. Whether it’s your side hustle or your full-time mission, if it serves our community, we want to help lift it up.
In the weeks ahead, we’ll be asking for more—your events, your daughters’ milestones, the causes you care about most. But today, we’re starting here.
Because if solidarity is our solution, you are the source.
Your stories. Your survival strategies. Your sacred wisdom. This is how we build.
Together.
And we’ve already seen that power in motion.
Over the past two weekends, Black women across the country walked in celebration of Juneteenth—on city blocks and neighborhood trails, in superhero blue. We walked for healing. We walked for each other. If you were one of those women, thank you!
There will be more of that goodness this Summer as we organize on The Underground. It’s our new app and it’s coming soon, we promise! We are still working through the final red tape with the app stores. We expect the greenlight any day now so stay tuned and be ready to hit the streets as soon as we say go!
In the meantime, walk the walk this weekend!
We are on the pavement with you.
Your GirlTREK family.
