Swipe for some cuteness overload! 🙈

Recently, we took some of our girls in Tobago to , and they left with a whole new appreciation for the wildlife we have right here at home.

We were amazed by how much there was to learn and by the work being done to protect our species and local ecosystems.

This Earth Day, we’re reminded that giving girls opportunities to learn, explore, and connect with nature matters too. Because when they understand the world around them, they’re more likely to care for it.

Happy Earth Day 🌿

The Girls MEET Club at in Tobago was the first of its kind. When we launched it, the goal was simple: give girls a real space to feel safe, to lead, and to be heard.

Two years later, the results have been astounding but it also fills us with pride so see what happens when we give girls the space to lead. From project ideation to implementation, these girls have been doing real work that can impact both themselves and their peers.

With support from through the decolonize! portfolio, two powerful projects were born. A Decolonize Library Project rooted in cultural preservation and the kind of storytelling that puts Black girls voices at the centre, and a Mural of Remembrance which we will be sharing more on very soon.

These girls were never waiting to be given a voice. They just needed the space. Now, over 350 girls across their school can access titles grounded specifically in our history as a Caribbean, gender issues and navigating adolescence in the Caribbean context.

Go girls!

We found a place to BLOOM 🌸

We celebrated the launch of our new space on Sunday in a room filled with thoughtful, driven women who see the vision and believe in it just as deeply as we do.

At Girls With Roots, we’ve always believed that when we pour into our girls with intention, the right tools, and real support, they don’t just grow, they change everything around them.

Thank you for being part of this new chapter!

One evening can change you. 🌸 Join us on April 12, 2026 for Bloom. An event where we explore what it really means to bloom and stay true to yourself while doing it.

Bloom brings women together for an evening of conversation, connection, and purposeful giving.

We’re also celebrating the opening of the new Girls With Roots space at 115 Edward Street, POS — a space dedicated to building girls’ confidence, leadership, and sense of possibility. Come explore the thrift & gift shop, connect with incredible women, and be part of something that matters beyond the night.

The cat’s out the bag! 😆 We’ve been quietly working on something very special, and we couldn’t be more excited to share it with you soon. A space for girls to grow, bloom and thrive together, and for women to support them🌿🌸

We give girls the tools. They give their communities the transformation. Every workshop, every conversation, every moment of encouragement compounds, because when you invest in a girl's confidence, you gain a woman ready to change her world. That's the exchange we believe in. That's Girls With Roots. 💛

Happy International Women's Day to every woman who has dared to give to watch girls grow and to the girls who have blossomed in women ready to change their world.
