(The UNIQUELY YOU SUMMIT Organization commends all nine girls for their excellence and commitment to Black girls, and hereby acknowledges their commendable leadership and demonstration of sisterhood as a member of the 2020-2021 Cover Girl Cohort).

Annually, we select a group of middle and high school girls (11 to 18 years old) to represent the organization as the official faces & voices of UNIQUELY YOU SUMMIT, INC. for a period of 12 months.

You would never believe that the above photo was this group’s very FIRST time meeting in person due to the requirements and mandates of social distancing during the pandemic.

Although we were not able to spend a ton of time together during the photoshoot (as we traditionally would) due to the impact of COVID-19, we are so glad that our UYS COVER GIRLS had an opportunity to solidify in-person the evident connection they’d made virtually during the last 12 months! Their genuine bond made the photo shoot very easy to manage and direct in such a tight space and in such a short amount of time. We are extremely proud of this group. They are the first UYS COVER GIRLS of the Organization’s second decade.
