I was in danger of not graduating, but my Girls Inc. mentors made time to talk and give me the skills I needed. Thanks to them, I graduated on time and I'm in college. Having women role models who believe in you makes all the difference." - DeLaina, 18

Alicia Finds Her Voice

Growing up in Alabama, Alicia knew she was different. She knew she was meant to be a leader, but bringing out those leadership qualities was hard for her. Alicia often felt like she didn’t fit in because of her diverse, mixed background. Forced to deal with hurtful issues like racism, she developed low self-esteem and a lack of confidence. At Girls Inc., Alicia was exposed to programs in an all-girl environment that gave her the assurance to speak up, and the confidence to overcome obstacles like stereotypes and limitations that others put in front of her. There, Alicia formed powerful bonds with fellow Girls Inc. girls and mentors who taught her to not only accept the qualities that set her apart from the crowd, but to embrace them and use them to empower her success.

Today, Alicia is a strong, smart, and bold student preparing for her first semester at the University of Alabama with dreams of pursuing a career as an Occupational Therapist.
