Donate to Honor Ferebee Sisters: Empower Girls!

Donation protected
EMPOWERING TEEN GIRLS TO THRIVE -- Socially, Emotionally, Economically, & Spiritually. Created in memory of my 3 sisters who ALL lost their lives to lung cancer -- the "1MILLION GIGO HANDBOOKS for 1MILLION GIRLS * FEREBEE GIRLS TRIBUTE CAMPAIGN" seeks to secure investor/sponsors to fund bulk orders so I can gift/provide the popular GIGO handbooks as empowerment treasures to teen girls as part of conference SWAG BAGS, graduation, rites of passage, back-to-school, freshman orientation, or other major milestone events.

I'm Janice Ferebee, MSW | native New Yorker living in DC for over 30 years -- an Award-Winning Female Empowerment Expert (recognized by OPRAH & ESSENCE), Author, Speaker, Girl Whisperer, and Woman Warrior -- educating, empowering, and inspiring adolescent females for over 4 decades. As the first African American Models Editor for Seventeen Magazine/NYC in the late 70s, the catalyst for my focus on adolescent girls, I believe they deserve all the love and support they can get. This is my opportunity to give back in a meaningful way while also celebrating my sisters -- Denise, Annette, and Vallie.

Your meaningful investment will allow me to provide this MUST HAVE empowerment resource to benefit the Next Generation of Women Warriors! Please consider a generous donation for 1-49 (@$19.95ea/retail); 50 - 99 (@$16.95ea); 100 - 499 (@$15.95ea); 500 - 999 (@$14.95ea); 1,000 - 2,499 (@$13.95ea) or more!

Counteracting Crazy & the Mental Health Crisis! Got It Goin’ On-II: Power Tools for Girls! REVISED EDITION - A MUST HAVE, personal development and social-emotional learning tool for girls and young women, focusing on empowering them to reach their full potential, and counteracting negative influences they are bombarded with daily | with guidance from the culturally diverse GIGO Guardian Angels of FAITH, HOPE, LOVE, GRACE, CHARITY, PEACE, & JOY.

The goal of this modernized edition of the popular GIGO-II handbook (first released in 2000), is to empower more adolescent females to experience the joys of being a girl, to help them navigate their journey to womanhood, and to help them transition into caring, confident, socially, emotionally, economically, and spiritually competent young ladies.

Got It Goin’ On® is a girl-focused, non-formal education brand that offers concrete tools to help girls GROW UP GREAT! OPRAH and ESSENCE Magazine recognized Got It Goin On® as an effective empowerment solution for tweens and adolescent girls. The books are being used and sought after by girls and adults in the US and abroad (Ghana and South Africa, with plans for further global expansion), in homes, mentoring programs, schools, juvenile justice and social service agencies, community, faith-based and girl-serving organizations, healthcare, and recreation facilities.

Thank you for your continued support. This passion project is my life's work and my way of honoring my 3 sisters, Denise, Annette, and Vallie, who are no longer here. And as I said when featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show in 2001, "I will do this work until I take my last breath!"

"Speak LIFE to ALL girls . . . for they become what you tell them!"
