News and events for Chicago's McKinley Park neighborhood
Over the course of two weeks, our 5th–8th grade girls embarked on a journey of leadership, growth, and self-discovery. 💜
Through career exploration, financial literacy, healthy relationships, wellness, self-advocacy, and decision-making, our girls challenged themselves, found their voices, built confidence, and began envisioning their futures as leaders, entrepreneurs, and changemakers.
At the heart of their journey was ELLAS:
E — Empoderadas (Empowered)
L — Líderes (Leaders)
L — Luchadoras (Resilient)
A — Auténticas (Authentic)
S — Solidarias (Supportive & Community-Minded)
A special thank you to the incredible women who guided, coached, and inspired our girls throughout this experience: Nallely Gass, Anna Garcia Enriquez, Blanca Tena, Olga Camargo, Lupe Hernandez, and Samantha Alvarez. 💜
From learning how to advocate for themselves to exploring careers, building healthy habits, understanding money, and reflecting on their goals, every experience helped our girls take another step toward becoming the leaders they are capable of being.
This is their journey. This is their growth. This is Girls Who Rise. 🌟
Girls who rise. Girls who lead. Girls who change the world. 💫See more at https://www.instagram.com/reel/DcMQ28Ozzt2/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsi=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
