The Black Women in Advocacy Fellowship, hosted by Black Girl Talk Collective, is a three-month program in Winnipeg that empowers young Black women in policy-making and advocacy.

Participants receive training in policy analysis, advocacy strategies, research methods, and media engagement, along with mentorship from experienced leaders.
