About The Commission on Black Girls The Commission on Black Girls (CoBG), was charged with understanding the quality of life of Black Girls in Central Ohio in order to share their story with the entire community, along with the resulting insights, recommendations and actions. A research study was conducted and A Report on the Quality of Life of Black Girls in Columbus, Ohio was published and presented on July 30, 2020. The overarching recommendation from the report was to identify a permanent entity for the Commission. This recommendation has been accomplished and the Commission is transitioning to The Center for Healthy Families. |
