We had an opportunity to join ABC News tonight to talk about our current scholarships and our work with youth leaders in Chicago and Gary!
We had a spectacular time at Grandma's House, celebrating our girls' successes this school year and the launch of our Leadership Journal. The NWI Times featured the event in this beautiful article!
Our Program Director, Kyla Carter, and our High School Community Ambassador, Natalie Henry, have a conversation with ABC News about our work, including the launch of our Leadership Journal and our first annual Butterfly Weekend in Chicago, IL and Gary, IN.
We're elated to be featured by News 12 in their "Jersey Proud" segment this week, celebrating our community impact and Joy's recent acceptance to Harvard! Joy Lindsay, our Founder and CEO was pleasantly surprised when a friend texted her a screenshot of the feature. Reflecting on all the recent community love she's received over the last few days, Joy wrote: "Feeling and embracing all the love and I am incredibly grateful! Thank you, everyone, for the beautiful expressions and warm wishes. My Newark, NJ community has grounded and loved me through some of my toughest life moments, and it is an absolute honor to see “Jersey Proud” of Butterfly Dreamz and my acceptance to the Harvard Graduate School of Education. I hope to continue making you all proud, and I am forever grateful to everybody who welcomed this girl from Gary, Indiana into Jersey many years ago and supported me in making a home here. Love you all and thank you News 12 New Jersey for the thoughtful feature." |
