The Revolution Will Not Be Televised... It WILL happen on the Inside
The concept is simple...We start the girl empowerment workshops with a foundation of self-love, where we focus on getting to know ourselves, discovering our purpose and tailoring our beliefs and values. Then we apply life skills to the wellness wheel (spiritual, emotional, physical, educational, occupational, and social development) to achieve lifestyle balance, completing the holistic revolution process.
The program is innovative... We combine the culturally competent in house curriculum with social media and other online access (Facebook, Twitter, Blogs, You Tube). The revolutionary process becomes a lifestyle as we connect with youth both inside and outside of the classroom.
The approach is intentional... We created Revolution Girl with teen brown beauties in mind, under the premise that they face systematic disparities that disproportionally impact their intersectional identities as both women and people of color. we are a culturally competent program believing that despite their cumulative disadvantages brown girls can be true contenders in a society that often negates and neglects them. Also we are preventive instead of being reactionary. The goal is to stop the cycle of brokenness, by reaching youth and tackling the root of the problem.
The mission is trans-formative...We believe that this generation can become free once they change their mentality. The mission is to inspire and motivate brown beauties to discover their best selves and beleive that they are the writers, directors and porducers of their lives. Ultimately understanding the powerful message that its not what happens to you, but how you respond to it that matters!
