The Problem:
80 % of African American children entering schools have a positive self-im¬age; twenty percent still do by the fifth grade; yet only five percent do by their senior year in high school.

AND

92% of the young women want to change some aspect of their physical appearance.

Our Hope:
Studies show that having a relationship with God is directly related to increased self-esteem

girlSTRONG!  was founded in 2007 by author, workshop facilitator, public speaker and public health professional, Ronneal Mathews.  Ronneal has faced many of the same issues that girls face today.  From low self-esteem, self doubt, and questions about her faith – Ronneal truly has a testimony to share.  The message of strength and courage which she delivers through her books and interactive workshops will motivate African American girls to recognized their unique strength and learn life lessons that will change the way they think about their place in the world.
