Procter & Gamble's My Black is Beautiful Continues to Imagine Beautiful Futures at the 2015 BLACK GIRLS ROCK!(TM) Awards on BET Networks

My Black is Beautiful and P&G Brands - COVERGIRL, Pantene and Olay - share powerful commitment to help Black girls be their best selves

CINCINNATI -- P&G's My Black is Beautiful (MBIB) continues to inspire Black girls to be their best selves. MBIB maintains its momentum towards its goal of reaching and teaching one million girls and young women to believe their Black is beautiful as part of its Imagine A Future (IAF) program. Together, with P&G brands, COVERGIRL, Pantene and Olay, and retail partner Target, MBIB will celebrate girls who are making a positive difference, and will invite the community to change the beauty conversation by joining the IAF movement during the 2015 BLACK GIRLS ROCK!(TM) Awards on Sunday, April 5 on BET Networks.

"We're proud to unite with our community partner BLACK GIRLS ROCK!(TM) on our journey to inspire one million beautiful futures, and to highlight positive change agents such as the M.A.D. Girls"

The IAF program launched in 2012, in collaboration with BLACK GIRLS ROCK!(TM) and UNCF (United Negro College Fund). The program aims to reach and teach one million Black girls over three years to believe their Black is beautiful. In 2013, the program sparked a national conversation surrounding Black beauty and self-image by releasing the Imagine A Future documentary, which examined the historical and current beauty and self-esteem issues that challenge Black women and girls.

"I am honored to support My Black is Beautiful's Imagine A Future program, and to be a part of a movement that offers encouragement to girls and young women during the most critical years of their lives," said Tatyana Ali, actress, activist and MBIB ambassador. "This year's M.A.D. (Making A Difference) Girls inspire all girls and young women to imagine a future where they're able to bring meaningful change to their communities."

Now in its third and final year of the IAF program, in which more than 770,000 girls and women have been empowered to date, MBIB continues its mission by motivating the community to join the road to inspire one million girls and young women to be their best selves. During the BLACK GIRLS ROCK!(TM) Awards, attendees and viewers will be encouraged to watch the Imagine A Future documentary and hold local interactive screenings of the movie for their daughters, nieces and mentees using the accompanying curriculum: the IAF Discussion and Facilitator's Guides. The documentary and resource materials are free to use and can be accessed by visiting www.MBIBImagineAFuture.com.

MBIB will also join BLACK GIRLS ROCK!TM Inc. in celebrating three dynamic young women who are being honored at the BLACK GIRLS ROCK!(TM) Awards. Each young lady is making a difference in her community and exemplifies the IAF mission. By promoting progressive change in their communities, the 2015 M.A.D. Girls - Gabrielle Jordan, Chental-Song Bembry and Kaya Thomas - have used their voice, knowledge and talent to empower and serve others.

"Each year, BLACK GIRLS ROCK!TM acknowledges a group of dynamic young women and girls who are driven to create solutions to the social issues of our time. I am so proud of this year's inspiring M.A.D. Girls who are making a difference in education through literacy building, mentoring and technology. It is my hope that through their example, other girls will come to know that they are capable of making a difference in their communities too," said Beverly Bond, creator, founder and executive producer of BLACK GIRLS ROCK!(TM). "We are elated that Tatyana Ali and Proctor & Gamble's My Black is Beautiful will join us in celebrating these incredible young women."

This year's M.A.D. Girls include:

Gabrielle Jordan, 14, of Bowie, Md., is an author, young entrepreneur and philanthropist who volunteers as a youth ambassador for The Tigerlily Foundation supporting breast health, education, wellness and empowerment for girls and women leaving her mark on the world and the people she meets.

Chental-Song Bembry, 18, of Somerset, N.J., is the author and illustrator of The Honey Bunch Kids Series. In addition to building her franchise, Chental-Song is a literacy advocate who travels around the country to teach children the importance of reading, writing and literacy development.

Kaya Thomas, 19, of Staten Island, N.Y., is a techie, vlogger, creator and advocate for tech education. She is currently studying Computer Science at Dartmouth College. Kaya runs a tech vlog that offers coding tutorials and has developed a cultural literacy app that helps readers find literature for and by people of color.

"We're proud to unite with our community partner BLACK GIRLS ROCK!(TM) on our journey to inspire one million beautiful futures, and to highlight positive change agents such as the M.A.D. Girls," said Grace Janes, brand manager, Procter & Gamble's My Black is Beautiful. "While more than 770,000 Black girls and young women have been empowered through our Imagine A Future program, our journey continues. We're challenging our community to join our conversation so that one day every Black girl will proudly embrace her inner and outer beauty."
