Lina K. has recently celebrated her one-year anniversary as the Billing Specialist at You Grow Girl! Some of her daily tasks look like inputting data and billing clinicians for the time they spent with each participant. Lina has been a long time Ambassador for You Grow Girl! and is proud to support whenever she can. She expressed the grass is always greener on the other side and a chapter in her life is closed when she is not feeling overwhelmed by that area in her life anymore. What does the word ‘grow’ mean to you? “To continue leaning and becoming a better version of yourself” #YouGrowGirl! #HERStory #TestimonialThursday

Thank you, Jessica Boker and Starbucks for your dedication to the Sisterhood. 💕✊🏾💞💖💗
Reflecting on the holiday we celebrated this week, #Juneteenth, I wanted to share how I spent the day. For half the day, I joined You Grow Girl! for a lunch of delicious traditional foods that were made with love and care (my fav was the collard greens!). We had to take a 15-minute break afterward just to revel in the incredible meal we shared. With full bellies and smiles, we launched into an activity discussing bill H.R.40 regarding reparations for African Americans, introduced back in 2021. We discussed how we would propose these funds be invested in our communities, the issues of generational poverty and redlining, and the importance of education and community resources. We concluded by reading our proposals to legislators and celebrated our hard work, and then I joined my husband for some time kayaking. It was a beautiful way to spend the day, full of connection, JOY and action. I am so grateful to be part of this organization and support these young women who want to make a difference in the world. How did you spend #Juneteenth this year - was it full of connection, joy and some action? If you want to be part of what we're doing at You Grow Girl!, reach out and I can get you connected. #inspireher Jamila L. Coleman Karianne Stinson Bryanna Bui Kelsey Cinkovich

I had the honor of representing You Grow Girl! today at Starbucks for our Women’s History Month Non-Profit Advocacy Showcase, hosted by Women’s Impact Network. It was incredible looking around the room and seeing all of the women who support our Seattle communities. Women truly do it ALL and if you haven’t already, thank a woman in your life for everything she contributes at work, at home and in her community 👏🩷💪

The Interagency Academy Recovery Campus in Seattle is the only school in the area specifically for youth in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction. They can connect students to dedicated staff that support and inspire their continued recovery. They have on-site recovery meetings and encourage and develop external natural supports for their students. The school is a lifeline for recovering addicts in Seattle. If the school is shut down, it can cause harm to all of the students by not providing them with the resources that they are in dire need of. If you are willing to support the cause, please sign the petition here: https://chng.it/2CTJ4Fj7S8 We are just under 1,000 signatures from saving the school! Please make sure to share the link with friends and family as well. Any help will make a huge difference.
