About BLISS

Founded in 2019, The Black Link of Independent Schools Summit (BLISS), is an initiative to create solidarity, connection, conversation, and friendship between Black students in the New England area. During membership with BLISS, participants would have gained a better understanding of how their schools compare to others in regard to supporting Black students, and how they can improve their own diversity initiatives at their respective schools.
