SHEZ RISING®

Helping girls rise from survival to self-worth.

The Mission

Every girl deserves to know her worth — not for what she’s been through, but for who she’s becoming.


Shez Rising® exists to reach girls early — especially those navigating foster care, life transitions, or environments that challenge their sense of value.


Through mentorship, emotional awareness, and identity development, we help them rise into confident, self-assured young women.


“If we can reach girls before they become women who need awakening, we can change generations.”

Why It Matters

Many girls learn early how to survive — but not how to believe in themselves.

They’re praised for strength but rarely taught softness.

They’re told to be resilient but not how to heal.


Shez Rising® creates a safe space for girls to pause, process, and rise — emotionally, mentally, and socially.

When they learn to value who they are today, they build the foundation for who they’ll become tomorrow.


When a girl feels seen, she starts to believe she belongs.

A Story of Rising

One young woman entered our program after years of uncertainty — quiet, guarded, and unsure of her future.


Through our mentorship sessions, she found connection, confidence, and courage to imagine more for herself.


That’s what Shez Rising® is about — not perfection, but possibility.
