We are honored to be chosen as a Ms. South Honoree for The Ms. Foundation for Women!

Most girls look up to their mothers. In fact, a mother’s self- esteem is one a girl learns to mirror first as a child. Well, what happens when a girl no longer has that role model to look up to?

Most girls look up to their mothers. In fact, a mother’s self- esteem is one a girl learns to mirror first as a child. Well, what happens when a girl no longer has that role model to look up to? Girls who have a mother incarcerated are sometimes left alone in a big world trying to find inner strength and self-worth. Statistics show that unhealthy self-esteem can lead to depression, destructive behavior, self-harming, eating disorders or alcohol/drug abuse.
Our organization ensures that our participants have a strong sense of true beauty and self-respect. We conduct monthly activities with our young girls to help strengthen their core values. In addition to that, we partner with local beauticians to serve our girls hair needs. We also provide personal hygiene and care package needs.

Research shows that children of incarcerated parents may be particularly at risk in disconnecting from school and becoming involved with negative peer groups. For this reason, we focus heavily on education to ensure that our participants have everything that is needed in order to thrive in their schools. We do not want our young girls to just ”go” to school; we want them to be leaders in their school.
Our Leadership program offers free after-school tutoring, weekend assistance, and monthly progress reporting. We partner with every participant’s principal, guidance counselors and teachers to guarantee that our girls get the attention and support needed inside the classroom.

The overall mental wellness of the youth in our program is extremely important to us. Studies show that separation from a primary caregiver can impact a child’s emotional well-being. One behavior that is linked to girls having a mother incarcerated is destructive relationships. Some girls tend to shut down completely from trusting other people, while others have difficulty developing healthy relationships with men and women.
Beauty Marks for Girls are committed to breaking the cycle of wrong thinking. We plan purposeful monthly exercises with our participants to find out how they are truly feeling inside. Our girls are taught how to use these various activities to express their emotions. We are also partnered with two certified therapists to help with more severe cases that need immediate attention. So, whether girls feel alone on another Mother’s Day or the first day of school, we show up for our participants to help them through difficult times.
