Girlspeak and Ladies First, An Expressive Writing Experience
Ladies First
GirlSpeak™, a partnership with Ladies First, is an expressive writing experience that teaches young women 14- 17 how to use their story as a platform for healing, expression & sisterhood. Writing is a powerful tool that can help us increase wellness, confidence, self-esteem, creativity, and decrease stress. By sharing our stories and listening to others, we experience commonality, purpose and hope. GirlSpeak™ is a safe and supportive space where its participants can express, release, heal and build solid coping skills.
This four day camp at the Tacoma Urban League also includes an outside field trip for participants.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"> <span id="docs-internal-guid-91d338b0-708b-c2a0-9399-f5bd2c9017ba"><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Ladies First is a program dedicated to empowering young women to make healthy decisions by promoting free thinking & cultural awareness in their everyday lives. We encourage youth to build safe communities, confidence, and trust. This program achieves those goals by engaging our ladies in several activities: body-image workshops, self-defense training, the Assumption Game, cultural awareness discussions, and we have a wide variety of successful women from the Tacoma community coming to guest speak on their journey.</span></span></p> <div> </div>
