A Moment That Still Means So Much 🤍

These photos were taken about 3–4 years ago, but the impact of this day still speaks to the heart of our mission.

Our college mentors Skylar, Yoti, and Umutoni spent time at Westport Elementary connecting with young girls in the community. These ladies were always willing to represent AGLMN. During this visit, several girls came in to learn how to braid, practice on wigs, ask questions, and receive hair care products.

What may seem like a simple activity was actually something much deeper. It was a space where young girls could learn, feel seen, and gain confidence while being surrounded by mentors who looked like them and cared about their growth.

At the same time, our college mentors gained meaningful community experience—learning how mentorship, culture, and service can shape the next generation.

Our organization has been on pause for a while, but moments like this remind us exactly why this work matters so much.

We cannot wait to get back to creating these spaces again for our girls and our community.

✨ Who remembers this day at Westport? And who’s ready to see us bring these moments back again?
