"You asked why giving is so important: Our girls have BIG dreams and goals and it is our job to help them see those goals and dreams achieved." 👏
Thanks so much to @WindyCityLIVE for having us on this afternoon. Let us know in the replies if you caught us live!

Join us in celebrating the @SeaAirFCU Community Athlete of the Month for March - Aminata Kasongo!
Aminata joined the @SennAquatics #WaterPolo team (Chicago, IL) and quickly became a key part of her team's defense, all while learning how to swim and be water safe! Way to go! 👏
Happy #InternationalMentoringDay! With 433 mentor-mentee matches made since 2011, it's clear that at GirlForward, mentorship is more than just a number. It's a meaningful connection that makes a lasting impact. Thank you to all of our amazing mentors.

Mentors like Wajiha can make all the difference in the world to refugees, especially when they first arrive in a new country. For Fatima, a former Afghan refugee, Wajiha is more than a mentor— she's a hero.
Read how Fatima acclimated and found #mentorship through @GirlForward.
Happy #InternationalDayOfTheGirl Tag a girl who inspires you and show them some #love 💖
We stand against all forms of oppression. We stand in solidarity with the women in Iran and with women around the world who are fighting for their right to choose. #MahsaAmini #WomenLifeFreedom #WomensRights

1/ If the migrants who were flown to Martha’s Vineyard on Wednesday were transported from Texas, then why is Gov. DeSantis taking credit?
There’s a lot of confusion surrounding where the flights originated.
Let’s break down why it matters.

Wow. An immigration attorney just exposed Ron DeSantis’ multi-million dollar human trafficking scheme and it’s even worse than it sounds.

Can you spot the refugee?
No? That's because they're just like you and me.
