Centering Black Girls, Empowering All Girls
The Village In Action!
Together We Can Make A Greater Impact!
Why We Created This Event
Every day, young people are impacted by choices, relationships, and environments that shape their future — sometimes in ways they are not prepared for, including exposure to unhealthy relationships, pressure, and violence.
For many families, it is not “someone else’s child.” It is someone they know, someone they love… it could even be their own child.
We believe it does not have to be that way.
The Village in Action was created to bring youth, parents, and community leaders together to create safe spaces, build confidence, share knowledge, and equip the next generation with tools that support healthy decision-making and long-term success.
Because protecting and empowering our youth is not someone else’s responsibility — it belongs to all of us. That is why the Village matters.
My HOPE is that this event BUILDS MOMENTUM for our community “The Village” to continue collaborating to protecting our youth!

My D.N.A. = Do Not Alter
This exciting 5-week experience empowers girls to discover their voice, build confidence, and stand strong in who they are. Rooted in the message “My D.N.A. – Do Not Alter,” this program reminds girls that their identity, value, and voice are not meant to be changed or compromised. Each session dives into real-life skills and protective factors that help girls make healthy choices, set boundaries, and recognize their worth. Through engaging activities, meaningful conversations, and creative crafts, girls will strengthen their skills and earn weekly empowerment milestones throughout the program. The final session is a celebration of their growth, featuring certificates of completion and special gifts!
