About

The Power of Girlhood teaches girls ages 13 to 18 to use their natural strengths, talents and abilities through creative and artistic means.

We have developed a strong community of young women who participate in the fine and performing arts, communications, STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and math) and entrepreneurship. We support our girls in their personal endeavors, academic achievement, leadership skills and character development. Through The Power of Girlhood, we teach our girls to think critically, use their network and resources, create new channels and improve upon existing connections for social change.

Founder Ber-Henda Williams was teaching 10th grade Spanish when she quickly realized that girls needed a safe space to express themselves and build intentional community. The Power of Girlhood was created as an annual meet up for talented girls in partnership with dance coaches, fitness experts, and performance artists from all over the metro Detroit area.
