          BALTIMORE, MD – National Director of the NAACP Youth and College Division, Tiffany Dena Loftin was awarded the Rising Star Award on Friday, Nov. 16, 2018 at the 2nd Annual Black Girls Vote Ball.

    The Black Girls Vote Ball celebrates the accomplishments of Black women in politics and activism who are making a difference not only in their comm-unity but around the world, according to a news release.

    The Rising Star Award is bestowed upon a person for their clear demonstration and dedication to changing the world we live in for the better.

    Black Girls Vote, Inc. was launched on what would have been Shirley Chisolm’s 91st birthday, Nov. 30, 2015 in Baltimore.

    Through nontraditional engagement efforts that focus on meeting people where they are, Black Girls Vote has registered more than 16,000 voters.

    Black Girls Vote (BGV) is also supporting the next generation of leaders and engaged voters through their High School and Collegiate Ambassador Program where BGV Ambassadors activate their student body while bringing BGV’s mission, vision and values on their campus, the organization said in the news release.

    This midterm election cycle, under the leadership of Loftin, the NAACP Youth and College Division completed a highly successful Vote 2018 campaign in just a few short weeks, Black Girls Vote officials said.

    They were able to mobilize 5,800 students, recruit and maintain 2,607 new activists, host 232 “vote specific” events, organize at 174 schools across this nation and engage 33 of the 50 states, proving that young people are rising to the occasion and answering the call.

    “I dedicate this award to everyone 35 and under who constantly proves this country wrong. I dedicate this award to those who can’t vote. I dedicate this award to every black woman who says I told you so;” Loftin said as she accepted the award.

    “Every year we have an opportunity to not only change government to not only advance legislation but to redefine democracy. I know we’re winning because it’s getting harder, but I am encouraged and inspired, and I’m committed to our communities,” she said.
