Why Non-Moms Are an Asset to Mothers Everywhere

She Knows

Girls Write Now mentor and Board alumna Marci Alboher writes for She Knows about motherhood, guidance, and mentorship.

“For years, I’ve been a supporter and champion of Girls Write Now, a mentoring-through-writing program that is a hotbed of intergenerational relationships. I was drawn to this particular community because I felt I had something to offer to young people who are mostly aspiring first-generation college students (like I was), but I get a whole lot more than I give. I now have a collection of young women who are part of my life in various ways — some feel like mentees, some are friends, others are woven into my writing or professional life.”
