Who We Are

We add needed color (gender, racial and cultural diversity) to the leadership spectrum!

Our program was initially created as a Girl Scout Gold award project in 2008. It blossomed beautifully into a dynamic 501c3.

Women of color, Black women statistically among the highest, face unfair expectations, unique challenges, and biased assumptions about where they fit in the workplace and home lives that differ from their counterparts.

Through our curriculum, guided mentorship program and resource-building virtual and in-person events, Lisa's Girls aims to provide needed life skills and leadership support and cultivate better-cultured communities.

Each girl and woman will leave this program changed, mentored and a part of a community of leaders who create other leaders and leave the environment around them a better place.

OUR 5 CORE VALUES

Increasing the representation of BIPOC women and girls in leadership roles, politics, and decision-making while encouraging and executing generational change. Generational change is key to creating lasting impact.
Recognizing the intersection of race, gender, and other social identities and considering how multiple forms of discrimination can compound to create unique challenges for BIPOC women and girls.
Providing access to quality education, life skills and leadership, building opportunities to equip BIPOC women and girls with the knowledge and tools they need to succeed in life and various fields.
Ensuring access to strengthening faith, healthcare services, mental health support, and body positive mindsets to safeguard their physical and emotional well-being.
Recognizing and celebrating the diverse cultures and traditions of BIPOC women and girls, fostering pride in their heritage, and combating cultural erasure. We are committed to intentional community engagement by actively participating in community initiatives, activism, and advocacy. We be believe this enables us to drive positive change and address issues affecting our communities directly.

Our #womancrushwednesday goes out to our phenomenal board member Callie Sampler @thatscalli4_ya. Callie, thank you for all that you do for Lisa’s Girls! #lisasgirls #empowerment #inspire #lisasgirlsinc

We’re still riding the wave of our successful launch #definingu! Our very own @iamalexisrogers was our keynote speaker. She reminded us of the following: In a world that often tries to define us by our backgrounds, our identities, and our stories, it’s crucial to recognize the power that resides in our uniqueness. We are not defined by stereotypes, limitations, or others’ expectations. Instead, we are uncommon in the most extraordinary way. Every one of us carries within us a tapestry of experiences, cultures, and histories that make us unlike anyone else. #lisasgirlsinc #lisagirlslaunch #empower #impact
