✨Introducing EmpowHer: She Heals, She Thrives A digital storytelling campaign amplifying the real voices of girls ages 14-19 in NYC. This is a space for honesty, healing, and growth because your experiences matter, and you don’t have to face challenges alone.💛

This campaign is led by NYC Her Future’s YA50
participants: a group of 10 young women passionate about addressing the realities of young women’s mental health, but in an empowering way.

About YA50: Youth Action 50 (YA50) is a citywide leadership program that empowers NYC public high school students to take action on the issues that matter most to them and their communities. Students meet regularly with peers and adult facilitators to build leadership skills, plan community service projects, and make their voices heard. YA50 members will gain hands-on experience in civic engagement, community organizing, and teamwork while earning community service hours and contributing to positive change in New York City.

Beauty is Science! ✨🧪
Our girls are diving into the world of fragrance and exploring the STEAM behind beauty.

We had such a beautiful day — complete with amazing pastries, hands-on learning, and a whole lot of excitement. We’re thrilled to be partnering with the Young Women’s Empowerment Program at and for their fragrance “I Don’t Need a Prince by My Side to Be a Princess.”

This is just the beginning. We can’t wait to share the full collaboration showing Beauty is Science💕🌸

As Black Breastfeeding Week comes to a close, NYC Her Future publicly acknowledges organizations, practitioners, and mothers seeking to advance this core issue in New York City.

We look forward to sharing information regarding NYC Her Future special events and initiatives in the very near future.
