My Project

Every March during Women's History Month, we create opportunities for our women staff to encourage, mentor and uplift the girls throughout our building. This year, we want to create lasting memories that our girls and women will cherish.

I want to set up backdrops at our women and girls luncheon so the girls can take fun pictures with their friends and teachers.

I want them to be able to capture and highlight the beauty, personality and style that all of our Black girls own! It's just what our girls need as they are constantly facing hate, violence and discrimination because of how they look and carry themselves.

Please help me provide our girls with this amazing and life-changing experience!
