This Native American Heritage Month, we honor Indigenous women who have shaped history through their leadership, creativity, and advocacy. 🩷

As Yankton Dakota writer and activist Zitkala-Ša reminds us, self-determination is a powerful part of growth. May we continue to uplift Indigenous voices, celebrate their contributions, and create a future where every woman and girl has the opportunity to shape her own path.

We’re so excited to introduce you to Gia, who joined us through the Mercy School for Special Learning ! From day one, Gia has been an incredible help to our The Perfect Fit for Working Women program, and we couldn’t be more grateful to have her on our team. 🥰

From packaging items for clients and steaming, tagging, and sorting clothing to helping decide what belongs in business wear versus casual wear and assisting with luncheon preparations, Gia jumps in wherever she’s needed! Her hard work, intelligence, sweet personality, and love of giggling make each day brighter for our staff and volunteers. ✨

We asked Gia a few fun questions so you could get to know her better! Here are some of her favorites:

🧀 Favorite Food: Mac & cheese
🍟 Favorite Restaurant: McDonald’s
🎬 Favorite Movie: How the Grinch Stole Christmas
☀️ Favorite Season: Summer
👕 Favorite Piece of Clothing: Sweatshirts
🐻 Favorite Animal: Grizzly bears

Gia, thank you for all the hard work, joy, and kindness you bring to The Perfect Fit. We’re so lucky to have you! 💕

As part of Week Without Violence, YWCA USA is hosting a national virtual event on October 20 at 3 p.m. featuring clips from Watch You Rise and a live conversation with the filmmakers.

Directed by Isabella Grace Cohn, the film follows a young filmmaker as she uncovers stories of s*xual assault experienced by her mother, her peers, and eventually herself. Along the way, she meets survivors, perpetrators, and experts to explore s*x, power, consent, healing, and the cycles of harm that can impact individuals and communities.

Join us for a powerful conversation exploring safety, justice, healing, and the systemic changes needed to end gender-based violence.
