"If we truly believe that God is God of all, then we can find Him in everything—from the details that pop up when we slow down, to our physical bodies, to the emotions we’re too afraid to name." — @ruthiebethkim 👇

Grab your gal pal & give her an elbow tap (or a hug, if you can!) to let her know how much you love her, because it's #InternationalWomensDay2021! 👭

"I hope that people will see the humanity in the woman on the other end of the dollar. Behind every image of a woman you see in a strip club or in porn is a real person with a real story."

Thank you for sharing your story @HarmonyGrillo.

One of our students told us a hilarious joke during dance class today: "Why did the chicken cross the road? To social distance!" 🐔 #bjmyouth

[because justice matters @BJM_SF]

Guess what? Our fall youth programming launches today! 🚀Some classes are online, & some are in-person (masked & distanced). But all our offerings—from dance to music to Lily Club—will involve lots of creativity, giggles, & togetherness. We're so ready. #becausejusticematters

What makes the #Tenderloin special? Take a virtual prayer walk through the TL from the perspective of our youth. This narrated guide is self-paced & completely socially distant. #loveyourneighborhood

SF summer is in full swing. ☀️ Why not enjoy the weather, build relationships, & advocate for women & girls in the Tenderloin by hosting a picnic, voicing your heart for BJM to your friends, & crossing off a space on your #BJMbingo board?
