Amina’s Steps:

Step 1

A Starbucks date with executive director, Ms. Roberta (Her drink of choice? Skim flat white. Thank you for asking.), to talk social capital, dream jobs, and next steps.

Step 2

Sending out e-mails and making phone calls.

Step 3

Taking meetings, advice, and interviews, including one with Esther Mejia.

Esther is the President and CCO of E Creative. What does Esther have in common with Amina? Like Amina, she is a woman of color. They both love marketing and branding. And they both love Girls Inc. Amina is an alum and Esther is a former Girls Inc. board chair. All of this to say: Esther gets it.

Amina is one of hundreds of Girls Inc. young women, either preparing for college or preparing to transition into the workforce. Project Accelerate – a targeted extension of the holistic Girls Inc. Experience – will support these young women through their next critical transitions – from high school through college and from college to career.
