Every scar tells a story!

My mentee is wonderful and she reminds me so much of myself because she is a strong outspoken individual who loves to smile behind the pain. She loves to eat and have fun with her Family and Friends.
This is a memorable photo because it was our first outing together. We were headed to enjoy her first painting session.

"Success isn’t about how much money you make; it’s about the difference you make in people’s lives.”—Michelle Obama

My mentee is an amazing young lady that shows strength mentally, physically and emotionally. She keeps a positive attitude and doesn't complain one bit. No excuses will do when it comes to stand in her world. There is nothing that can stop her and I am proud of her. In this picture we are at the Gala celebrating the girls for all their hard work.

“One of the greatest values of mentors is the ability to see ahead what others cannot see and to help them navigate a course to their destination.”
-John C. Maxwell

My mentee is absolutely remarkable. Over the course of a year I’ve watched her stand proud of the lady she is becoming. She’s smart, funny, talented, and her passion is strong. I absolutely love it! She’s really pulling the stings and winning. I’m so proud of her and can’t wait to see what the next years will bring. We were at Beauty Mark

She’s really pulling the stings and winning. I’m so proud of her and can’t wait to see what the next years will bring. We were at Beauty Marks for Girls first annual Gala. I watched my mentee dance to Rise Up by Andra Day.
It wasn’t a dry eye in the building.
Mentorship forms the backbone of our organization. We are committed to creating a safe, nurturing, and consistent environment where mentors provide not only education, support, and direction — but also hope and belonging.
By connecting girls with compassionate role models, we help them break cycles of silence and shame, discover their strengths, and step boldly into their purpose.
Our STEM Summer Enrichment Program equips girls with the knowledge and skills to explore careers in science, technology, engineering, and math. Through interactive workshops, hands-on experiments, and mentorship from STEM professionals, participants strengthen problem-solving abilities, boost academic readiness, and develop the confidence to pursue high-demand fields. This program opens doors to future opportunities and inspires each girl to see herself as a leader and innovator.
Maintaining a consistent bond between girls and their incarcerated mothers is important to our mission. Research shows that regular parent–child contact can ease trauma, reduce feelings of abandonment, and even support a mother’s success upon reentry. But for many families, visiting isn’t simple—correctional facilities are often hours away, and travel costs put an additional burden on already struggling households. To remove this barrier, Beauty Marks for Girls provides gas cards to help families travel to correctional facilities.
