A garden of blooming flowers with a young black woman, the wildflowers trying to bloom and the young woman trying to blossom gradually too. I Want her to look the flowers with intensity, I want her eyes to convey her fragility and strength

Blossoming is not just about growth; it's about freedom. Freedom to be ourselves, make our own choices, and pursue our own dreams. As Malala Yousafzai said, 'I raise up my voice—not so I can shout, but so that those without a voice can be heard.'

Let's give girls the space to find their voice, bloom into their full potential, and become the leaders they were born to be. As Maya Angelou reminded us, 'Do the best you can until you know better. Then, when you know better, do better.'

Let's encourage girls to take their time, explore, learn, and grow. Let's allow them to blossom into strong, confident, and compassionate women who will change the world.
