Beginning February 2020! You won't want to miss this 90-Day online experience with Joan, where you can learn how to have your own photography-based empowerment workshops for girls!
She will be conducting a special case-study training for women who want to make a positive impact in the lives of adolescent and teen girls .
This includes girls who are in
- their communities
- their neighborhoods
- their families
- the juvenile justice system
Photography, video, media literacy, and more are interwoven with a research-based curriculum, and challenges creativity and abstract-thinking skills. The power of visualization is incorporated with storyboard creation and photo-journaling.
The workshops are designed to help girls:
- Build and enhance their self-confidence and self-esteem
- Develop their creativity and leadership skills
- Learn to decode media messages
- Recognize they are of value and help them to value themselves
- Know that each one has a God-given purpose and destiny to fulfill
- Discover the unique gifts and qualities they possess which they can offer to enrich the lives of their families, friends, schools, and communities
And they also learn to take better pictures!
Interested in seeing how we can work together to empower girls? Let's have a conversation!

Doors of opportunity are open to me! That’s what this photo represents. Though in my life growing up in foster care, I may have felt the walls were closed in on me and I couldn’t get out, but, I now know that good things are ahead, as wonderful doors have opened for me. This workshop has helped me to see that!
One thing I've learned through the workshops is It’s okay to be myself. I am lovable the way I am. I won’t let others get me down. I will make changes that I can make. I will talk more positively about myself, because I am a valuable young woman.
The girls from our foster care agency thoroughly enjoyed the workshop and want to continue with more classes!
