Why is Girl Empowerment Yoga important?
"Black girls are perceived as less innocent and less in need of protection than white girls, according to a new study from the Georgetown Center on Poverty and Inequality. The study’s authors call this phenomenon “adultification.”

Girls on the Run
I'm so excited to bring Girls on the Run's transformative social and emotional development program to the Whitehaven community.
Every girl deserves the opportunity to participate in this 8 week empowerment program. I want to eliminate any financial barriers by raising funds to cover program fees for my team of girls.
Will you sponsor a girl in your community today?
