Hi, I'm Kate! I decided to create this organization because this is what my awesomeness wanted to do: develop a community of girls who know and own their awesomeness and want to continue to strengthen their sense of themselves and the world. I am passionate about social justice (race, gender, class, sexuality) and I also love learning new skills and building things. And singing all the time. So here we are! Let's do this! |
