🦋HollerGirl is heading the The Burl this Sunday! 🦋

We’re excited to be a part of Love Is Like A Butterfly: A Tribute to Dolly Parton!

Dolly spent decades reminding us of the power of a woman who knows who she is, believes in herself, and uses her success to lift others along the way. That spirit is something we believe in deeply at HollerGirl.

So, who is HollerGirl?

We’re a Kentucky-based nonprofit building pathways for women to create stronger, more independent futures through education, scholarships, workforce development, mentorship, practical support, and meaningful community connections.

Our work includes helping women overcome barriers that stand between them and their next chapter, including women rebuilding their lives during or after domestic abuse. We believe a woman’s circumstances should never define the limits of her future.

WE DON’T DEFINE WOMEN BY WHAT THEY HAVE SURVIVED. WE INVEST IN WHO THEY CAN BECOME.

Our Appalachian roots will always be a part of our story. Music, storytelling, culture, and community helped bring HollerGirl to life. Today, that foundation supports a bigger vision: strengthening women and communities throughout Kentucky.

We will be at The Burl to share who we are, talk about what we are building, meet new friends and partners, and-most importantly-listen.

We want to hear from women. What barriers are you facing? What resources would help you move forward? What opportunities do you wish were easier to access? Your experiences and voices matter as we shape the future of HollerGirl

Come find us, say hi, grab some information, and tell us what opportunity means to you.

We are honored to be a part of an evening celebrating a woman whose music and generosity have touched so many lives.

💜WE WANT TO HEAR YOUR HOLLERGIRL STORY💜

Over the years, HollerGirl has been so much more than a festival or an event. It has been a place where women find connection, encouragement, friendships, courage, and sometimes a little reminder that they are not alone.

As HollerGirl grows and moves into its next chapter, we want to remember the stories that brought us here.

DID HOLLERGIRL MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN YOUR LIFE?

💜maybe you found a friend who became family
💜maybe you heard a story that gave you hope
💜maybe you stepped outside your comfort zone
💜maybe you discovered a strength you didn’t know you had
💜maybe you were healing from something difficult and found a safe place to just be yourself
💜maybe you met someone at a HollerGirl event who helped change the direction of your life
💜maybe you volunteered, performed, created, taught, connected, or just showed up-and something about that experience stayed with you

WE WANT TO HEAR THOSE STORIES

They don’t have to be dramatic, polished, or long. We just want you and your experience.

TELL US WHAT HOLLERGIRL HAS MEANT TO YOU 😊

As we build the next chapter of HollerGirl, these stories matter.

💜please feel free to share these privately or publicly in the comments

Today would have been the final day of HollerGirl Music Festival.

For the past four years, this weekend has represented months of hard work, determination, and a belief that women in Appalachia deserve to be seen, heard, and supported. Building HollerGirl has often felt like swimming upstream, but together we created something powerful. We built a community. We created a space where friendships were formed, musicians connected from across the region and beyond, and survivors found support and understanding.

This weekend carries a sting in my heart, and I know many of you feel it too.

But what HollerGirl started was always bigger than a festival.

As a survivor, I know how important this work is. We know how important it is. The conversations, the connections, the support, and the opportunities created through HollerGirl have never been confined to one weekend a year.

To our team, volunteers, artists, supporters, and everyone who believed in this vision—thank you. Your dedication helped create something that changed lives, including mine.

We wish every local festival a successful season and hope to see many of you out supporting live music, building community, and celebrating the incredible talent that exists throughout Appalachia. We also hope to see more women represented on festival lineups—not only at our amazing local festivals, but at the larger festivals that continue to receive support, resources, and success. There is no shortage of talented women creating extraordinary music, and we hope to see more stages reflect that reality in the years ahead.

While this chapter looks different, our mission remains the same. We will continue advocating for women’s rights, empowerment, domestic violence awareness, prevention, and opportunities for women in music. In fact, we intend to grow that mission into something even more impactful—with a vision centered on education, prevention, and creating lasting change for future generations.

We are not finished.

We are evolving.

The work continues, and together we will carry it farther than ever before.

As a survivor, this work matters deeply to me. I know it matters. We know it matters. And while this weekend may feel different, our commitment to the women and girls of Appalachia has never been stronger.

With love and gratitude,

HollerGirl
