Have you ever reached a point in your life where you really do not understand yourself, your beliefs, or your purpose in life? I was there and felt the need to do something about it.

I have always believed if God wakes me up, he’s not through with me and has a purpose for my life. I began looking over my life in an effort to discover what I would do for free and what came natural. No matter what memory came to me, working with the youth – specifically girls – seemed natural.

I took a look at the young girls currently in my life. I noticed the way they carry themselves, the way they speak and interact with one another. These young girls are the future; they will be women some day. I believe God has given us as women a gift of influence. The problem I see is that a lot of us are not aware of this, some of us don’t know how to use it, and others purposely misuse this power. I believe if more of us were aware and used our power of influence in a positive way; it would make a world of difference.

Once I discovered this, my relationships with both men and women changed completely. I realized the positive influence I could have in life but I knew I had to make a change. I first had to understand how valuable my life is to God and His purpose for my life. Next I began to think ‘what a difference there would be in this world if more women knew their value and purpose in life’. We could become Women of Virtue! From that thought, I was drawn back to the young girls and knew that was the place to start and so I developed Girls of Virtue, Inc.

Through this program women are coming together to mold and shape the minds of young girls through attributes of dedication, trustworthiness, leadership and positive Godly influence. The organization will provide as many young girls possible with the opportunity and environment to obtain the skills needed to become a Woman of Virtue!

Sincerely,

Tameka Flemming,
