"You asked why giving is so important: Our girls have BIG dreams and goals and it is our job to help them see those goals and dreams achieved." đź‘Ź Thanks so much to @WindyCityLIVE for having us on this afternoon. Let us know in the replies if you caught us live!
In honor of National Mentoring Month, we spoke to @GirlForward director Ashley Marine about how the organization empowers refugee girls. Learn more about how you can get involved: https://t.co/W3YrYLE5yb

CONGRATULATIONS TO AMINATA! We are so proud of her!
Join us in celebrating the @SeaAirFCU Community Athlete of the Month for March - Aminata Kasongo! Aminata joined the @SennAquatics #WaterPolo team (Chicago, IL) and quickly became a key part of her team's defense, all while learning how to swim and be water safe! Way to go! đź‘Ź

Mentors like Wajiha can make all the difference in the world to refugees, especially when they first arrive in a new country. For Fatima, a former Afghan refugee, Wajiha is more than a mentor— she's a hero. Read how Fatima acclimated and found #mentorship through @GirlForward.

We stand against all forms of oppression. We stand in solidarity with the women in Iran and with women around the world who are fighting for their right to choose. #MahsaAmini #WomenLifeFreedom #WomensRights

Wow. An immigration attorney just exposed Ron DeSantis’ multi-million dollar human trafficking scheme and it’s even worse than it sounds.
