Thank you for investing in Her Journey Home: Ghana 2026!

My name is Robinette. I have been selected to chaperone 18 amazing young women in Her Journey Home, a leadership and storytelling experience created by Girls For A Change, an organization that prepares Black girls for the world and prepares the world for Black girls.

This journey is more than a trip. It is an opportunity for them to learn more about themselves, where they come from, and who they want to become. While in Ghana, they will learn about the culture, history, and traditions, and grow as a leader alongside other girls.

We won’t just be visiting—the girls will be documenting their journey. They will learn how to tell their own story through film by turning the camera on themselves and their peers. This experience will help them build confidence, use their voice, and see themselves as storytellers.

When we return home to Richmond, they will learn how to edit their footage, add music, and complete a short film about their journey from RVA to Ghana and back home. On Friday, October 2, at the John Marshall Hotel in Richmond, Virginia, they will share their finished film at the Annual Black Girl Showcase, and donors will be invited to attend and see the stories created from this journey.

The cost of this experience is $6,500, which includes airfare, housing, meals, transportation, programming, safety, and filmmaking equipment. I am asking for support because we cannot do this alone.

Any amount truly helps. Your support brings us one step closer to this life-changing experience and helps us bring what we learn back to our school and community.

Donate today or donate here to support Her Journey Home!

Thank you for believing in us and being part of our journey.

With gratitude,

Robinette
