In 2016, Griffin founded Building Our Nation’s Daughters to work on effective communication between Black single mothers and their daughters.
BALTIMORE (WJZ) — In Baltimore City, the organization “Building Our Nation’s Daughters” worked to pack 270 baskets of food for single parent families on Sunday.
Baltimore nonprofit Building Our Nation’s Daughters -- BOND -- carves out time for single moms and their daughters to improve communication skills, set goals, and have fun. Founder Ateira Griffin says her experience as an educator inspired her to create the program. We hear from Griffin and her mother, Alisa Williams.
The holiday season is a time for family but it's also a time for giving back. On Sunday, 200 volunteers were on hand to make sure others have a Happy Holiday. The group "Building our Nation's Daughters" (BOND) held its fifth annual Thanksgiving Drive.
Ateira Griffin always knew she had her mom on her side. Her mother raised her and her brother as a single parent, so when Griffin had girls and their mothers shuffling in and out of her office at the Baltimore Leadership School looking for advice, she knew exactly who to talk to.
