What is the Little Black Dress Initiative?

Founded in 2014 by the Junior League of London, the Little Black Dress Initiative (LBDI) was created as a week-long awareness and fundraising campaign that harnesses the power of social media to highlight womens issues. By sparking conversations, LBDI raises awareness and creates change in our communities, both globally and locally.

The JLC has spent the last 100 years empowering local women volunteers by providing volunteer, leadership, and learning opportunities designed to empower our members. This group of women then uses these skill sets in their personal, professional, and volunteer lives to empower other women in the greater Charleston area. Our LBDI campaign this year will expand to be the entire month of March. The month campaign will focus on uniting women leaders to establish true impact in strengthening households in the Charleston community.
