#Bringbackourgirls

As a role model for girls throughout the Diaspora, supporting education of the girl child through our own library in The Gambia, we are extremely troubled that 234 Nigerian school girls were kidnapped on April 16th when they returned to their school to take their final exams. Join the movement to raise awareness and bring back our girls. --- Miss Black USA Facebook Page
