OUR MISSION

"We uplift and celebrate African American women through special community events."

 

One of the most powerful moments in a young woman's life is the first time they become inspired by someone who looks like them.

The moment they can imagine themselves doing some new, amazing thing...it changes the way they think for the rest of their lives.

This is why having heroes and role models from your own community is so transformative to a generation.

Our mission is to shine a light on more of the amazing women in the Black community. To spark hope and inspire our young women to action.

 

The change we so desperately need is in the hands of our youngest souls. Let's give them as many lights as we can, to lead them to a brighter future.

With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise."
