Celebrating our dynamism on a global network has greatly contributed to the paradigm shift that we are witnessing unfold in mass media today," said Beverly Bond. "The message that Black girls rock, we are beautiful, and our voices matter has truly penetrated popular culture and reverberated in the spirits of Black women and girls everywhere. As we celebrate the 15th anniversary of BLACK GIRLS ROCK!, I look forward to working with Scott Mills and the BET team to develop new original content that centers the breadth and depth of Black experiences and elevates the fullness of Black women's narratives."
