Happy Valentine's Day from Girls Empowered! This week we focused our programs at The Yoga Gnome, YWCA Bucks County, and Groveland Elementary School on self-love. We taught the girls about the difference between positive and negative self-esteem and ways to increase their self-esteem. They decorated mirrors with positive affirmations. Thank you to Foundations Community Partnership for allowing us to partner on the first two programs through the BIIG grant.

In honor of February’s Black History Month’s 100th anniversary, GE would like to highlight the incredible efforts of journalist and civil rights leader, Ida Wells. Ida was born into slavery in 1862, but freed as an infant by the Emancipation Proclamation. Tragically, at the age of 14, she lost both of her parents and an infant brother to the yellow fever epidemic. At that point, she got a teaching job to help her grandmother support the rest of her siblings. Later, Ida both co-owned and wrote for the Memphis Free Speech and Headlight newspaper, covering anti-lynching articles that exposed the brutality in lynching Black victims. Ida discussed that not all victims were guilty of the crimes charged, and that lynching was used as a method to control and terrorize Blacks. Additionally, Ida was one of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People’s (NAACP) founders, and dedicated her life to advocating for equality, especially Black women. Ida was also a wife and mother too, and was honored with a Pulitzer Prize after her death in 1931. We think Ida Wells was immensely EMPOWERED, and we celebrate her legacy and the countless other contributions in Black history.

Since 2010, January has been recognized as National Slavery & Human Trafficking Prevention Month. Human trafficking is often a “hidden” crime, essentially modern day slavery, and predominately affects both women and children, trafficked for s*x or labor. Traffickers typically isolate their victims from others, creating relationships based on control and manipulation, exploiting the victim’s need for love, acceptance, and belonging. These relationships sometimes begin through social media and online dating apps. However, other times the traffickers are not strangers to their victims, but someone that that the victim knows and trusts, such as a co-worker or family member.

Did you know that today is National Compliment Day? Genuine compliments benefit both the giver and receiver, improving mood, reducing stress, fostering positive behavior and growth mindset, and strengthening relationships. While giving and receiving compliments are important, what’s also important is how we talk to ourselves. Is our inner dialogue focused on critiquing ourselves, or reassuring and encouraging? Girls Empowered has customizable workshops that highlight the important themes of healthy communication, self-esteem, and affirmations. Email dawn@girlsempowered.org to learn more!
