Invest in the young women and gender-expansive leaders driving the change we all need.
“Writing, revising and ultimately submitting a story to the Girls Write Now anthology was an incredibly rewarding experience from the year. Aekta is the most amazing mentor and was so encouraging. She pushed me to delve into scary and vulnerable places that I hadn’t explored before—and it was so worth it.”
– Maya Collins, Mentee
“My most rewarding experience was meeting my mentor Ellen. She’s been super encouraging and helpful during a year that’s been filled with a lot of change and uncertainty.”
– Karina Itzel, Mentee Alum
“Girls Write Now inspired me to think of myself as more than someone who writes, but as a writer. My years as a mentee gave me the foundation to be the author I’m proud to be today “
– Joy L. Smith, Author and Mentee Alum
“Joining Career 360 turned into another moment for me to grow. I learned how to collaborate and looked for ways to fully step into a more mature, self-assured person…I swear I feel like crying just trying to express my gratitude.”
– Dolores Haze, Editorial Intern and Class of 2023 Alum
“I was struggling to cope with the overwhelming racial violence in the media and a truckload of uncertainties about my senior year during the pandemic. Most days, I was moving around my house listlessly. I was practically a zombie. Then I attended a Salon on Poetry and I started to come alive. The environment of positivity, warmth, and encouragement helped transfer all my negative emotions into rich lines of metaphors and imagery. Through this event, I learned to strengthen my voice and transform it. Girls Write Now was there for me.”
– Kilhah St. Fort, Mentee
