I am a young lady of power,

I will walk through my fears,

I will wipe away my tears,

Loving the people in my tribe,

Respecting my ancestors,

Because they showed us how to fight,

I am the future,

Success drips from my brow,

I'm going to make my people proud,

If I don’t always win please look again,

Because my destiny lives in how I rise!

#JPS for Life!!!

Junior Pink Soldiers or (JPS) is a summer program for girls 7-17 years old. The program's goals are to create a healthy, balanced, educational and futuristic influence as well as including and honoring traditional practices of old. These young ladies are the future and many will become mothers, doctors, attorneys, politicians, entertainers, teachers, chefs, psychologists, nurses, police officers, firefighters and join the ranks of those who protect our nation in the United States military.

It is in this vein that JPS was created to provide a measure of additional support in the community as these young ladies grow into womanhood. A womanhood that when she looks to her left and to her right a sister stands beside her. Color, creed, religion, culture and sexual orientation is not the primary question, because respect, character, trust, strength, knowledge, love and the willingness to learn and grow shadow the foundation of fighting like a girl. In our life journey as young girls, growing into womanhood, and then many eventually becoming mothers, our lives are a roller coaster. On that ride we fight, we live, we fight, we grow, we fight, we cry, we fight, we love, we fight, we laugh, we fight and we understand the fight evolves into a transformational stance. This stance becomes a part of our core being. JPS seeks to provide tools for transforming participating young girls because these young ladies represent a small segment of the female population and the hope is that what they gain will be transferred, adopted and shared with others.

Blessings to all and Welcome!
