At a single glance, one might think this organization is just a walking group; however, GirlTREK is much more than that. It has evolved into a life-saving sisterhood, one intended to transform Black lives, heal intergenerational trauma, and fight systemic racism one foot forward at a time.
Vanessa Garrison and Morgan Dixon's Washington D.C.-based non-profit brings together Black women from various walks of life in several cities and towns around the US in the name of good health, mindfulness, and sisterhood.
GirlTrek organizer, Shawnton Clay, was found dead in a Tennessee apartment. A warrant has been issued for her husband who has been missing since her body was found.
