Precious! Pretty! Powerful!™ – Durham, NC
Dr. Gail Hayes is the founder of the Precious! Pretty! Powerful! Girls Book Club out of Durham, North Carolina.
Mission Statement
To help girls, through reading, writing, and speaking become powerful communicators in word, thought, and deed.
We believe…
That words have power and that language builds and shapes character. Words are powerful tools that can inspire and encourage or hurt and maim. We want to help girls use this wonderful gift of language to bring positive change to the world around them.
We have a heart for girls…
We want to work with parents, caregivers, teachers, and youth influencers to help each girl in the Precious! Pretty! Powerful!™ Girls Book Club become a powerful, positive presence in her world.
How do we help girls do this?
By working with girls to read good books, write about what they read in their Precious! Pretty! Powerful!™ Journal, and speak to others about what they read and write. We facilitate this process by using books, journals, and individual and group activities as tools.
The focus of our program is to help girls become not only readers but writers and speakers. When the girls you love attend the Precious! Pretty! Powerful!™ Girls Book Club, they become communicators!

Afro Puffs and Ponytails is constantly searching for information about clubs and organizations 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, instill 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.
