The goal of Ray’s BIIG Idea is to cultivate a mindset that helps girls feel empowered and inspire self discovery and personal growth during a period of time where it matters most. This mentoring experience is intended to inspire girls on how to build a healthy, strong foundation for themselves as they prepare to navigate through the chaotic years, otherwise known as the "teenage years". The world needs more kind people and people who aren’t afraid to be their authentic selves. I think these girls and all young women need to learn how to support one another, not tear each other down. I’m hoping that by offering advice on behalf of my personal experiences, through one-on-one mentoring sessions, this community of young girls will feel more confident in themselves, while inspiring others to do the same.
