We Are...
empowered Girls and Young Womxn of Color, aged 11-24, enrolled in middle school, high school, or college, and seeking justice for ourselves and our peers. We participate in mentored experiences with professional Womxn of Color and racial justice allies, committed to our success. Together, we work to develop a deeper awareness of self. We apply what we learn to increase our cultural and racial knowledge, and advance girls' rights. Through culturally-centered youth participatory action research, critical mentorship, and restorative justice education practices, we learn to tap into our power to make our schools, families, and communities more equitable and just. If you are an empowered Girl or Young Womxn of Color, you know & care for one, or you want to be, we invite you to join us in our journey to advance girls' rights.
