This weekend, we had the honor of celebrating some of our incredible young women at the Queens of Justice Gala!

The evening celebrated the authors of Voices of Women Unleashed in Justice (Volume 3) by Dr. Evelyn Hill.

Voices of Women Unleashed in Justice is a powerful collection of stories from women who have transformed trauma into triumph, confronted injustice, and found strength in sharing their truth.

We are especially proud that several of our young women, along with our Program Director, Asia Upton, contributed chapters to this meaningful work. Their voices reflect resilience, courage, and the power of turning lived experiences into hope for others.

A few highlights from our Trailblazer Summer Camp!

Our campers have spent the summer learning, laughing, and creating. We’ve done it all: college tours, career planning, service projects, podcast recording and photography, museum visits, field days, and science experiments.

We are so excited to celebrate everything they have accomplished. Join us for our Summer Showcase next Thursday from 4–6 p.m. at Young Women on the Move (3148 Parallel Parkway) to see their hard work and creativity on display.
