Welcome to the Movement!
So, what is the IAGG Movement?
DH Elevation Consulting’s I Am Girl Greatness Movement™ (IAGG) exists to enhance the current and future lives of all girls. IAGG includes Her 12th Year: She’s not so little anymore parental coaching guide, the Girl Greatness Rights of Passage Experience™, resources for parents and other adults who are nurturing the healthy development of girls ages 10-15, & the IAGG swag items for our Great Girls to honor and declare their greatness.
In May 2022, I was provided with a serendipitous opportunity to rethink the presentation of IAGG’s signature program, the Girl Greatness Rites of Passage Experience™. “Rites of passage” is a ceremonial event marking a milestone in a person’s life. Our program is just that, a process of effectively preparing our girls for the transitions into and through two stages of girlhood: preteen and teen years.
With the current political and social climate bringing the rights of girls and women to the forefront, it was important for us to ensure our girls are empowered to stand in their basic human rights.
Since girls have a right to experience life with all the freedoms and benefits of being their very best selves; and since girls deserve the right and opportunities to determine their own destinies spiritually, physically, mentally, and financially, I was led to change the wording of our transitional event to the Girl Greatness Rights of Passage Experience™.
IAGG will continually strive to provide the resources and experiences with the message that “every girl has the right to live well & thrive.”
Her 12th Year, 2nd Ed.
Raising a tweenage daughter is no easy task. That’s why Dr. Lisa Sistrunk, human development professional and motivational speaker has released her debut book, “Her 12th Year: She’s not so little anymore” to guide parents as they tackle hard to discuss conversations like sex, grief, self-love, menstrual cycles, friends, driving, and even spirituality with their daughters, ages 10 to 15.
When Dr. Lisa’s daughter, Kamaria, was 12 years old, she would have weekly conversations to prepare her for the journey into womanhood. The book is written with those notes in mind from a parent’s perspective. Tweenage girls can also find value in the book as they read the “Kamaria stories” sections and complete the Reflection activities to know that they aren’t alone and are stronger than they think as they grow, develop, and mature into young women.
