Every girl deserves to enter adolescence with confidence, dignity, and support. Yet many girls grow up without basic tools like a properly fitting bra, accurate information about their bodies, or products they need for their periods. This leads to missed school days, lower self-esteem, and a culture of silence around topics that should empower, not shame. Uplifting Our Girls (UOG) started with a simple but powerful belief: confidence begins with the right fit.
Founded in Atlanta and led by Georgia State Representative Kim Schofield , UOG creates safe and joyful spaces for girls ages 9 to 17, along with the parents and caregivers who support them. Here, they can learn, ask questions, and celebrate every stage of growing up.
Through hands-on workshops, confidence kits, and programs for peer and parent ambassadors, we meet girls where they are with compassion and cultural sensitivity. Our work combines practical tools with positive experiences. We help girls replace confusion with clarity, stigma with pride, and self-doubt with self-confidence.
From our very first “Uplift & Flow” workshop in 2025 to the growing network of schools, parents, and community partners we serve today, our story is rooted in the voices of the girls themselves. We are here to ensure every girl feels seen, supported, and celebrated. When girls thrive, communities flourish..

🎀 TRUE OR FALSE? 🎀 Think breast cancer only affects women with a family history? Think again. More than 80% of women diagnosed with breast cancer have no family history of the disease. While genetics can play a role, your risk is influenced by many factors beyond family history. This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, let’s move beyond assumptions and toward awareness, prevention, and knowing your personal risk. 💗 Knowledge is power, and knowing your risk can help you make informed decisions about your breast health. #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth #BreastCancerAwareness #BreastHealth #UpliftingOurGirls #UOG

September is PCOS/PMOS Awareness Month 🩸 Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)or Polycystic Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS) is a hormonal condition that can affect menstrual cycles, skin, hair growth, and overall health. For girls and young women, understanding their bodies and recognizing changes in their menstrual health is an important part of building confidence and self-awareness. At Uplifting Our Girls, we believe every girl deserves access to age-appropriate, culturally responsive education that helps her better understand her body, ask questions, and advocate for her health. This month, we’re raising awareness, encouraging open conversations, and reminding girls that period education is health education. #PCOSAwareness #PMOSAwareness #UpliftingOurGirls #UOG #menstrualhealth

In observance of Labor Day, Uplifting Our Girls will be closed on Monday, September 7th. Our office will reopen on Tuesday, September 8, with regular business hours from 9:00 AM–6:00 PM EST.

This month, we celebrate Black Businesses ✨ In 2004, Frederick E. Jordan and John William Templeton established National Black Business Month to bring greater attention to Black-owned businesses and encourage economic support. Representation matters. When girls see a team of Black women leading the charge—especially our founder, Rep. Kim Schofield—they see what’s possible. They see leadership. They see entrepreneurship. They see women who look like them creating change and making an impact in their communities. At Uplifting Our Girls, we believe that seeing it is part of believing it. 💜 This #BlackBusinessMonth, we’re celebrating the Black-owned businesses, entrepreneurs, and leaders creating opportunities and paving the way for the next generation. ✨ #communityimpact #SupportBlackBusiness #uog #upliftingourgirls
