A New Season

Happy Women's Herstory Month, Butterfly Dreamz Tribe! 

March is the month of my grandmother's birthday, the start of spring, and the "beginning of new beginnings" as we get closer to graduations, warm weather, and a new season. Throughout this month, our girls will be preparing for growth and transition.


Starting Thursday, March 11th at 5:30 PM EST, we'll be hosting weekly yoga sessions for teen girls and mentors, in partnership with I'm So Yoga Newark. Attendance is free for Cocoon Club members and non-members can donate to join. We hope to see you there!

Our Ancestors

For many of us, February is a time of reflection. Although it is not the only time we celebrate Black history, it is certainly a special time—a time of honoring the dreams and the work of our ancestors. We stand proudly and humbly on the sacrifices and commitment of those that came before us.

Earlier this week, we shared 
12 Homeschool Activities That Highlight Trailblazing Black Women. In honor of our ancestors, we'll be using these activities to decide which middle and high school girls will receive our $1,000 Live Boldly Book Scholarship.

Cash in "The Cocoon"

Growing up, cash was always my favorite incentive. If you have a convo with my dad, he'll tell you stories about how the kids in our family left him broke by earning A's on our report cards. :-) Well, last month I got a taste of what my dad experienced. We kicked off our Cocoon Club Cash, an incentive that awards girls cash prizes for their leadership achievements.

DECISIONS, DECISIONS, DECISIONS...

As we close out this calendar year, we're thinking about the choices we make that shape our lives and lead to our dreams becoming a reality. During our December group mentoring session, we explored our strongest and weakest decision areas, committed to actions that will improve our decision-making, and became accountability partners to each other. If you know a middle or high school girl who could use support making better decisions, invite her to join The Cocoon, an online community of women and girls working together to grow as leaders and achieve our dreams!

​Action Plans Help Girls Achieve Their Goals
​

Last month our Cocoon Club members created powerful back-to-school vision boards. In November, they'll be working with their Leadership Coaches to execute their visions, using our Leadership Action Plan Tool.  This tool helps girls break down their big goals into small, meaningful steps through a step-by-step planning process. If you know a middle or high school girl who could use help creating an action plan, invite her to join The Cocoon, an online community of women and girls working together to grow as leaders and achieve our dreams!

Still I Rise

"Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I’ll rise." 

―Maya Angelou

Good morning Leaders, 

We begin Mental Health Awareness Month affirming the words of Maya Angelou's legendary poem, Still I Rise, and remembering that regardless of our circumstances, we always have the power within us to rise and thrive.

Our ability to access peace and power in the midst of life's storms often depends on our mental health, and just like with our physical health, improving our mental health requires commitment and consistency. This month's newsletter includes ideas, tools, and resources to help you lead with love, power, and a sound mind.
