​GLMPI Girls Like Me Project

Since 2012, Girls Like Me Project Inc. has introduced 500 girls to International Day of the Girl,
​through our flagship program, Chicago Day of the Girl.

GLMPI will enroll 500 girls through membership by 2021.

Global Exposure
Expose girls to a variety of media and digital technology programs and culture.
​

Examination of Self Awareness
Assist girls with developing a conscious knowledge of one's own authentic character, voice, and feelings.
​

Community Engagement
Help them gain a desire to build, grow, and connect with girls and the community through workshops, mentoring, and girl circles.

MISSION

The mission of GLMPI is to help African-American girls ages 11-17 critically examine social, cultural, and political ideologies in media so that they will be able to overcome stigmas and negative stereotypes. We equip them with the tools and strategies to become influential, independent digital storytellers who transform their communities and foster global sisterhood.

​VISION

Girls Like Me Project believes that although African-American girls are disproportionately targeted by devaluing stereotypes and media messages of misogyny, self-hate, and destructive behavior that adversely normalizes circumstances of poverty and violence; a strong sense of self-efficacy and awareness can transform them into change agents for social good.
