"I Call The Shots" Empowerment Campaign Launch Party

“I Call The Shots” Empowerment Campaign is a national empowerment campaign that explores the stereotypes of girls and women and redefines how we want to be portrayed in society. We are empowering girls to combat race and gender stereotypes and make sense of the conflicting messages we see in media and society today.  Every woman and girl has the right to be herself, feel appreciated for her contributions, express herself, and obtain the confidence needed to experience success in life.

 

“I Call The Shots” Empowerment Campaign is organizing individuals to unite around a common goal to stop race and gender stereotypes. This movement will spark meaningful action and create social change.
