KIM POSSIBLE PROJECT
The KimPossible Project aims to impact teens and young women who are experiencing similar challenges to those that I experienced in my youth. The mission is to share some of the vital life lessons, self-advocacy, soft skills, business/work preparedness and other tools that I wish I had been taught, as opposed to 'figuring it out' along the way. I believe that the path to womanhood begins with two pivotal phases, the teens and the 20s; with that, I have curated a curriculum for both age groups.
