Nothing beats philanthropic initiatives for us by us. We don't take more than we give. We support our girls as we wish someone had supported us when we were their age. We speak to them as we wish someone had spoken to our younger selves; with grace, patience, and kindness. We tell them the things we wish we could have told our younger selves.
If hurt people, hurt people. Then, maybe healed people can heal people - just by showing up as their full selves. Ready and willing to do more than was done for them. Ready to be more than they think themselves capable.
On every Girls Trip, we show up, we listen, we learn, we love, we give, and we receive. Our presence speaks to our intention and our intention is to be a living example, a blueprint, an embodiment of a dream realized. We show up as the many examples of what is possible for our girls.
Our giving retreats are PHASE 1 of our goal to decolonize philanthropy. On each Girls Trip Tour, through our giving retreats, we planted the seed. Now, we have a registered non-profit and can't wait to share how we grow our social mission from here and connect the Girls Trip Tours (for-profit) community to the Girls MAP Foundation Inc (non-profit).
