About the Book
In Empower Our Girls, educators Lynmara Colón and Adam Welcome collaborate with a strong cast of contributing authors to shine a light on simple, meaningful changes that need to take place in schools and society at large to help girls achieve more.
The words used to describe girls and define traditional roles can set unintentional limits for girls. It’s time for a change! It’s time for girls to hear the truth:
- Tears are not a sign of weakness.
- Being bold enough to ask for what you want doesn’t make you “bossy.”
- Glass ceilings are meant to be shattered.
We must empower our girls to chase their dreams. Their future—and ours—depends on it!
The book is filled with calls to action, some simple and some seemingly impossible, and all meant to empower girls to embrace their own bodies and minds and make the world their own.
– Karen Richardson, VSTE president, professor
As a mother and an elementary principal, I’m looking forward to using this book for inspiration as I raise my own daughter.
– Lindsy Stumpenhorst, principal
This is a must-read for those in school leadership who wish to truly ‘empower’ our girls.
– Rodney Kay, superintendent
Our girls are filled with so much worth and potential, and it is our moral imperative to help them find and share it.
– Ramona Dunn, principal
