Did we explain WHY our exhibit is called “The Art of Being A Girl”? Just finished an interview and wanted to share the answers... Q: You’re obviously approaching LiveGirl’s mission of empowerment from different angles. Let’s talk about art. How was this art-focused initiative conceived? A: There is no one right way to be a girl or to empower a girl. At LiveGirl, we are all about equipping girls with the skills, community, and connections to thrive. For some, this may mean building self-esteem through one of our after school mentoring groups. For others, it may be learning more about the women who came before them by writing a poem for our women’s history month contest. Others might discover what’s possible for girls and women by meeting a fierce female role model or viewing art. (Enter our art-focused initiative!) The title of this year’s art exhibit came from an original poem written by Lytasha Blackwell, one of our mentors. The poem expresses that there is no one right way to be a girl. Girls don’t need to fit in a box or conform to preconceived gender norms. A few lines from the poem: Girls inspire, Girls love, Girls live, Girls lead Girls have the full potential to always succeed Girls come in so many different styles Mastering the art of being a girl definitely takes a while - Q: What role do art and artistic expression play in female empowerment, in your view? A: Very often, words are not enough for expressing our thoughts and feelings. Art and artistic expression play an important role in female empowerment. Some people are enthusiastic about the feminist movement and our efforts to close the female leadership gap. Others don’t understand it or find it necessary. The Art of Being a Girl -and the artists - including Ashley Longshore and Michele U. Voigt - are contributing a very important voice to the cause. #ArtofBeingAGirl #supportgirls #supportwomen #girlpainter #art #arts #music #poetry #showcase #nonprofit #carriagebarn #ct #girlsleadership #girlempowerment
Ahhhh!! We are dancing with joy 💃🏻 because our Art of Being a Girl exhibit is being installed as you read this!!

Voigt will be completing her “Flying Girls” (swipe right) masterpiece at the event! @michele_utley_voigt artwork is currently exhibited in national and international galleries. She participates annually in major art fairs including Art Basel Miami. Many of her early works have been acquired by museums as part of their permanent collections. "Flying Girls" contains three transcending girls leaping into atmospheric flight.

“Sometimes when you want something changed you have to be the one to do it,” Hannah Kozak said. “Why not be the one to push it?” Hannah’s story about what one girl, one voice can do is our #MondayMotivation. 18 year-old @undohannah decided to fight back against her school’s policy that prohibited girls from wearing pants to graduation. “It was the principle of it all, the fact that it was 2019 and women had been wearing pants for a century.” First, she went to her senior class adviser and biology teacher, who said she didn’t make the rules — she just enforced them. Next, Kozak called on her principal. When that didn’t work, she took her fight to the school board. And when that didn’t work, she took her fight to the local TV station. That worked. The school changed its policy. Bravo, Hannah. 🙌🏽 ‼️🙌🏽🙌🏽⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #nevernotconfident #killitwithconfidence #shareyourvoice #yourvoicematters #confidence #confident #futureisfemale #girlboss #shero #mondaymantra #beseen

POWER OF THE PACK! Our Confidence Clubs meet for 20 weeks during the school year (two 10-week sessions). During this time, these girls form deep and profound connections with their mentor and with each other. #girlssupportinggirls will change the world. New research in the Harvard Business Review finds that while both men and women benefit from having a network of well-connected peers across different groups, women who also have an inner circle of close female contacts are more likely to land executive positions with greater authority and higher pay. “There is a special place in heaven for women who support other women.” @arochlin. This is our #wolfpack. Thank you @kimoleeeryn and all of our mentors for creating this MAGIC!! 💫 #mentor #girlempowerment #Girlsleadership
