Girl Talk Foundation, Inc. – Charlotte, NC

Active in the community, Janine Davis started Girl Talk Foundation, Inc. in 2003 after visiting several middle and high schools, where girls opened up to her with their issues. Janine organized an all-girls rap session later that year to focus on the needs of teen girls—nearly 200 girls attended.  Ms. Davis took the rap sessions a bit further to start an organization targeted specifically at building self-esteem and teaching leadership skills in young girls.  Since starting Girl Talk, the program has served nearly 2,000 girls.
