Greetings,
It fills me with immense pride to lead an organization that has profoundly impacted the lives of countless at-promised girls and their families. At Girl Power Rocks, my foremost commitment is to protect, nurture, and uphold the integrity and moral consciousness of the future women leaders, caregivers, and educators in our society.
Too many girls arrive at our doorstep feeling broken, misguided, and neglected. Girl Power Rocks stands as a beacon of hope, offering a sanctuary where they receive unwavering support, guidance, counseling, and unconditional love—always with a ready listening ear. This work has been my deepest joy and proudest achievement.
With the steadfast support of our funders, partners, and the extended Girl Power Rocks' community, we are dedicated to continuing our mission for many more years. Together, we are making a difference—

As we honor Black History Month, we reflect on the powerful impact of history and the vision for a future shaped by the courage, resilience, and brilliance of Black leaders. The stories of historical figures like Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks, and Angela Bassett inspire our youth, pushing them to believe in their own strength and the importance of using their voice to make a difference.
At Girl Power Rocks, we asked some of our girls how Black History has shaped them and how they plan to contribute to their communities in the future. Their words remind us of the deep-rooted power within them, ready to break barriers and lead the charge for change.
From Frank C. Martin K-8 Center:
Imani shared, “Angela Bassett inspired me to enter the entertainment industry. Her powerful roles and presence on screen made a huge impact on me, and I admire her as one of the iconic actresses who broke barriers for Black women in Hollywood.”
Ariel reflected on Rosa Parks' courageous act of defiance, saying, “Rosa Parks is often remembered as a key figure in the civil rights movement for her brave act of resisting segregation on a bus. Her courage in standing up for what’s right taught me the importance of using my voice and standing up for myself.”
Yani-Grace shared how Harriet Tubman’s bravery impacts her: “Harriet Tubman fought for freedom and helped lead hundreds of enslaved people to safety through the Underground Railroad. Her bravery and determination to stand up for what was right inspire me to advocate for myself and others.”
From Brownsville Middle School:
Le’Ayjah shared, “One instance in Black history that had a lasting effect on me was the Montgomery brawl. This incident showed me that Black people still have power and won’t stand for discrimination.”
Elieyah focused on the beauty and pride in Black identity: “I feel like most things that involve our history are hard and stressful. But we have beautiful positive things like different types of hair and we are all beautiful in our own way.”
Temperance expressed the harsh reality of inequality: “Black History has affected me in the present in the way of seeing how we don’t get treated fairly.”
When asked about the historical figures they look up to, Elieyah mentioned Beyoncé as an inspiration: “Beyoncé inspires us Black girls to be pretty no matter what.”
Looking ahead, Le’Ayjah shared her dream: “I want to have a Black-owned beauty store and salon in one that boosts young Black girls up.” Similarly, Kimora expressed her passion for giving back, saying, “I want to have a Black-owned beauty store and salon in one that provides makeovers for people experiencing homelessness alongside traditional customers.”
These powerful voices remind us of the importance of lifting each other up and creating spaces where young Black women can thrive, be seen, and change the world. As we move through February, let’s celebrate the impact of Black history and support the dreams of these future leaders.
