Eight inspirational stories. Three high-school students. One historic university.

Kenya, Devon, and Charlie are the lucky few chosen by Howard University—also known as the Mecca—to participate in a competitive summer program. Not only will they be judging stories for the #BisonWrite creative writing competition, but they also have the opportunity to discover whether they see a future for themselves at Howard.

The HerStory Journal is perfect for mothers and daughters, mentors and mentees, or any woman/girl combination. As you flip through the pages, you'll find instructions for creative Do-It-Yourself (DIY) projects and leadership activities, including our popular "Cupcakes and Confidence" and "Purses and Purpose" projects. Short stories and poetry accompany each activity, along with perspectives on confidence, purpose, and self-love from some of our favorite women mentors!

As Justice writes about her senior year in high school–leaving her boyfriend behind and a disagreement with her best friend–she discovers a collection of short stories about love, friendship drama, and difficult life changes written by a group of girls from the Girls Education Initiative of Ghana (GEIG). Will the stories from GEIG student authors help Justice solve her own life problems?
