Empower Dreams
Take a Girl to College
ABOUT THE CAMPAIGN
This year, we are excited to take our girls on a transformative journey to some of the most prestigious colleges and universities in the nation, including Georgia State University, Georgia Tech, Spelman College, and Clark University.
From March 23-26, 2025, our girls will visit historic campuses, meet students and faculty, explore dormitories, and learn about the college admissions process firsthand.
This year’s tour will also include visits to The King Center, Capital Tour in Atlanta, the Art Museum, Six Flags Amusement Park, and the Georgia Aquarium, providing well-rounded experiences that connect education, history, culture, and fun.
These visits are more than just sightseeing; they’re an opportunity for our girls to see themselves in these spaces, to envision their futures, and to gain the confidence to pursue higher education.

DONATE TODAY
Together, we can inspire, empower, and elevate the girls of tomorrow. Every contribution, no matter how big or small, brings us closer to creating a life-changing opportunity for these girls.
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.
