Earlier this month we held our 1st Annual Ripple Reception hosted by @HiltiNAmerica. Members of our XIX Society & Board Alumnae presented checks to 2 orgs: The XIX Society granted $30k to @POETICPersists, and the Board Alumnae granted $30k to @EmpoweringDFW. Congrats to both!
Wrapping up the second day of #TourismAcademy22 sessions by lending a hand @POETICPersists, a Dallas non-profit that assists girls who have experienced sexual exploitation and sex trafficking reclaim their narrative and persist forward.

Thank you @bancosantander for your generous grant of $225,000 for our Entrepreneurial Institute and paid internships enabling more POETIC girls to build a path towards creativity and independence. We so appreciate your continued support! #UntilEveryGirlIsEquallyValued
We are hiring and looking for a bilingual licensed therapist and bilingual case manager. Join our team as we end the cycle of re-victimization of girls in Dallas!
Our first Fight Club cohort is nearing the end of the 14-week program! Their capstone service project was to make stationary with the Poetic team - which serves trafficked and exploited girls in our community. Grateful for our partnership. 💜
We’re proud to be a part of The Nat’l Advisory Committee on the Sex Trafficking of Children & Youth in the US, & we’re thrilled to release, “Best Practices & Recommendations for States,” report, which seeks to combat #childsextrafficking in the US. https://t.co/JG9F6rWRPP
Today, on World Day Against Trafficking in Persons, we elevate POETIC girls who are not defined by their victimization. Instead, everyday, they fiercely fight for a life worth living and thriving.

This is precisely why @POETICPersists was created. Incarceration of children is not the answer. We have to invest in community support that prioritizes equitable access to education, mental health and family support.

We are proud to partner with #Givetogethernow. For every act of kindness, $500 will be given to a Dallas family impacted by #COVID19. Today, we are highlighting Nina, our program coordinator, who has made homemade strawberry jam for POETIC girls and staff.🍓#Givetogethernowdallas
Thankful for our therapists for finding creative ways to remind POETIC girls to be skillful in the midst of isolation and stress. Emotions last only a few seconds. If we skillfully ride the wave of emotions, we can make it through the other side! #DBT#HowWeCope#POETICPrime
