We asked girls everywhere,

“If you could send a message to the whole world about what it’s like growing up as a girl today, what would you say?”

They spoke—and wrote, shouted, laughed, whispered, and signed. They said,

“The only person I want to be is me.”

Join Girls Inc. in honoring girls’ voices—help us ask the whole world to sit up, pay attention, and celebrate along with us. Welcome to Girls Inc. Dear World.

Enjoy these Dear World letters – these letters are from the Fratt Elementary Girls Inc. site, first and second grade girls.
