Excellence Girls is a safe haven for young ladies who are becoming young women. I found out about EGC from my best friend who was attending the weekly meetings. I had just moved to Virginia from NYC and was having a hard time adjusting. My friend Shakea Simpson who is also a 2010 alumni encouraged me to join and it changed my life forever.
My mother who was a single mother at the time was busy working 2 jobs and I felt lonely until I joined EGC. I then realized that I was apart of a Sisterhood. I had people who cared about me and pushed me to my full potential. I learned about etiquette and carrying myself like a lady. I learned about loving the skin that I'm in and being proud of myself. Most importantly I learned to believe in MYSELF!!
Thanks to Excellence Girls Club and Mrs. Madison I am not a statistic. I am a woman with a voice and a purpose. And you can be too!
