ABOUT US
There are so many children that are left at home in the evenings and summers while their parents work; Most actually come from a household where there is only one parent. The majority of the households are without fathers. Mothers are forced to go to work to provide for their families, but unfortunately the kids are at home by themselves, getting into trouble and/or not eating healthy meals. There are many more children that need positive mentors and guidance in their lives. Helping them to feel good about themselves and building self-confidence is a great experience to offer them. These services will enable children to one day become adult catalysts in their community and one day be in position to give back. We offer these services to all socioeconomic levels but we specialize in Black children and they can learn from one of our career schools or right from the comfort of their own homes. BLACK GIRL BEAUTY PERFORMING ARTS SCHOOL since 2011, have been mentoring, inspiring and training women and children by providing clear step-by-step systems to shape and build self-confidence to become leaders through our unique classes in modeling, acting, writing, poetry, hair braiding, personal development, leadership and entrepreneurship training. Offering Live-In-Person, Hybrid & Virtual classroom experience that integrates fun & flexible - online instruction in performing arts.

Does a person have to look like a Model or Actress to become one? 10 years ago maybe...
