Girls Write Now is in the news! Founder and Executive Director, Maya Nussbaum, was featured in a Marc Fisher campaign highlighting leaders who are making a difference, including Karlie Kloss whose own campaign, Kode with Karlie, has been a success in helping young women learn how to code.
Also in the press, our girls’ work was chosen by author Roxane Gay who featured mentee, Jennifer Lee’s work in The Toast. We also saw our mentees work published in AOL Cambio Col[lab] and Teen Voices/Women’s eNews. We had stories written about our organization in Dame Magazine, New York Nonprofit Media, and the Nonprofit Excellence Awards Blog. Finally, three of our mentees wrote a segment for Fusion’s late night show Come Here and Say That with Alicia Menendez.
