In February, 2013, the first "gift" in the history of the Spirited Woman Foundation was given to Marlow Wyatt, founder and director of The Girl Blue Project, a self-awareness program for teenage girls whose purpose is "committed to awakening the truest potential in young women by empowering them to embrace who they are and giving them the tools to create whom thy choose to be."
Founded 10 years ago, Marlow's highly creative mind, body, and spirit oriented project has taught 100s of girls, from ages 14-18.
For seven weeks during the summer, the program combines yoga, a self-awareness circle, creative writing, etiquette, acting, music, coaching, money management, community service, and more to teach the girls to value themselves by promoting discipline, non-judgement, self-acceptance, and self-discovery.
I've known Marlow since 2006. I first met her at one of her Girl Blue performances. I see how she has awakened the truest potential in these young girls. It costs over $10,000 a year to run her program. Our money will help.
Update, what was Marlow able to do with our funds? In the summer of 2013, Marlow decided to take her program global. She went to the poverty stricken country of Ghana and volunteered in an orphanage for young girls. Here is a picture of Marlow with some of the young girls as well as a group picture. We praise Marlow for her magnificent efforts.
