A Girl Like Me Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization located in Detroit, Michigan.
Our mission is to create a safe, loving, and judgment-free community where every girl and young mother feels seen, supported, and equipped to thrive.
Our Story
A Girl Like Me Inc. started as an exceedingly small, grassroots effort with funding primarily from donations, selling t-shirts, and personal investments. It was born out of the challenges I faced as a young girl.
At 14 years old, I became a mom. I was scared, quiet, and unsure of what came next — but my community showed up for me with love instead of judgment. They made sure my baby had everything she needed, and that moment changed my life forever.
I promised myself that day I would pay it forward. That promise became A Girl Like Me Inc.
We now provide at-risk, low-income teenage girls and young moms with the education, resources, support, mentoring, and basic needs necessary to help them make educated decisions about their reproductive health and their future. Learn more about what we do to help young girls and moms.
Welcome to the No-Judgment Zone
Here, we are a group of girls helping out girls in need with everything we got. We do not see your race, color, gender identity, nationality, or disability. So, don’t think twice; come in!
We are dedicated to assisting girls ages 11–25 and beyond — teens, teen moms, moms, and anyone who could use a friend. We listen to their struggles, get them the resources the need, and watch them build the life of their dreams.
Essentially, we empower girls to dare. Dare to dream. Dare to be brave. Dare to be themselves.
