LCL Hosts LEAD Expo

LEAD-Ex Panel Discussion

Las Caras Lindas (LCL) is a start-up non-profit organization dedicated to helping Black and Latina girls and women to collectively define themselves as women. Over the years, LCL realized the need that in order to fully support the healthy development of young girls that one must also support the community of women that surround them. For this reason, LCL developed the LEAD Expo (LEAD Ex).

LEAD Ex is a program designed to “LEAD” change among Black and Brown women, of all ages, together, towards a more collective future. The goals are to create the space for Black and Latina women to become collectively aware of their strengths and talents, to expose young girls to successful women of various backgrounds and experiences, and to highlight the wide array of knowledge, wisdom and power that exists in diverse women of all ages.
