Mission
To empower, uplift and engage young girls and women by providing educational seminars, workshops and events.
(IAM) It’s About Me! Inc is a non for profit 501c3 organization that was developed and founded by Sandra Halaby in 2003 to provide a support system for women in South Florida. In 2008, I.A.M. expanded to offer workshops for girls between the ages of 10-18. The organization offers workshops on Self Esteem, Health and Fitness, Conflict Resolution, Leadership, Career Goals and Etiquette. We believe that strong, confident girls of today, become strong, confident leaders of tomorrow. Workshops are offered in Dade, Broward and Palm Beach County.

Afro Puffs and Ponytails is constantly searching for information about camps, clubs and organizations, and mentoring programs to provide as resources for parents and community organizers. It is our hopes that each resource provided will serve to build confidence, enhance self esteem, develop leadership skills, empower, uplift and educate our African American girls. We are not recommending these programs, but offering a starting point for you to conduct your own evaluation and research about whether a program is right for your child.

Greetings,
My name is Rashidat and I am writing on behalf of Trina Soumare of Ballet Brika West African Dance Theater. Mrs. Soumare requested that I contact your organization about our exciting African drum, dance and folklore classes now offered in the Midtown Fort Lauderdale community on Sistrunk Avenue.
Students are coming from Miami, Lauderhill, North Broward and Palm Beach County to attend these classes but we want to better serve the people who live along the Sistrunk Corridor!
Because we are new to the area, we hope that your organization will lend us your expertise by helping us to recruit students for our Saturday afternoon classes.
Participants must apply, be interviewed and be willing to consistently attend classes, as well as rehearsals and performances on time.
Will your organization assist us?
If so, we will send you a packet with company, programs and projects as well as registration information for you to share with the residents of your Sistrunk community.
You may visit our website http://www.balletbrika.com and also on YouTube at http://youtu.be/xjm_SKo2Wk0.
If you should have any questions, please contact Mrs. Soumare at 954-687-5789 , and make sure to tell her I contacted you.
Thank you for your time and we look forward to the collaborating with your organization.
Sincerely,
Rashidat Shittu Fyre Inc. Services For You- Marketing, Media & More http://www.fyresplace.webs.com 954-708-0839

I would like some information on how to start a IAM program in Houston, Texas. I think this is a wonderful opportunity for young black women growing up in today’s demanding society. I recently became alarmed and outraged, after being given a video capturing young girls having “Street Brawls/fights” as a means of entertainment and expression of self worth in the state of Texas.
