We’re building a new kind of digital media organization by and for girls around the world.
Storytelling workshops with professional mentors to give girls the tools to tell stories. A global, digital community. A platform for girls’ voices and stories. Girlhood* is an investment in the next generation of creators, leaders, writers, and thinkers. This is the world, as seen through girls’ eyes.
What that means:
A global network of regular storytelling workshops with professional mentors
Not influencers, not headlines. A space for ordinary girls.
Curated stories from girls around the world, across mediums and platforms
An inclusive definition and space for girls. We use an inclusive definition of girl and woman. This is a space for cis and trans girls, genderqueer, and non-binary people.
A kind, curious, creative community
Stories beyond the bubbles our algorithms create
The beginning of a conversation
Who we are: Girlhood* is being incubated by award-winning journalist Masuma Ahuja, formerly of CNN and the Washington Post. Girlhood* builds on GIRLHOOD: TEENS IN THEIR OWN VOICES, her book (out February 2021) documenting the lives of 30 girls around the world. Go to our workshops page to meet some of our professional mentors.
