Girls Like Me Celebrates Chicago Day of the Girl
As the founder of an organization centered around girls, LaKeisha Gray Sewell is always looking for ways to uplift girls and bring awareness to issues that affect them. When she heard about the United Nations’ International Day of the Girl Child, she saw an opportunity to bring awareness to the issues that girls in Chicago face and decided to host Chicago Day of the Girl each year around October 11th.
