🌟 Dawn H. Haaz, Psy.D., is the founder of Girls Empowered, Inc., a nonprofit on a mission to help girls build confidence & life skills that last a lifetime. While working toward her licensure as a psychologist in 2014, Dawn noticed girls as young as six & women well into their sixties facing the same challenges—low self-esteem, negative body image, unhealthy relationships, & lack of assertiveness. Inspired by this, she created a summer camp & began collaborating with community partners, work that would soon evolve into Girls Empowered.

🌟 Today, the organization has empowered more than 2,500 girls through 200+ programs & partnerships with over 80 local businesses & organizations. From building self-esteem to learning stress management & leadership skills, Girls Empowered gives girls the tools to find their voice & step into their power. Through this time, Dawn has also learned lessons about trusting in herself & embracing constructive criticism as she’s grown the organization & its impact.

🌟 For Dawn, the most rewarding part is seeing girls walk in shy & unsure, then leave with their heads held high. She’s passionate about creating balance between work, family, & self-care while continuing to expand Girls Empowered’s reach. Her vision is to build even more partnerships, grow programs, & continue empowering girls throughout the community.

“Wear Purple Thursday” is a day of action each October, during National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Wearing purple this year today, on Thursday, October 16th offers a symbol of peace, unity, courage, survival, and support to domestic violence awareness. With an average of 24 people per minute in the US becoming victims of r**e, physical violence, or stalking by an intimate partner, this is a harrowing issue. Local agencies such as A Woman's Place and Women’s Center of Montgomery County (check out the flyer for a benefit concert this weekend), as well as National Domestic Violence Hotline (800-799-7233) do such important work. Support, education, and discussion on this topic are so important for young people. Girls Empowered also does programs on healthy relationships and effective communication. Contact us at dawn@girlsempowered.org for more information and to schedule a program.

Are you aware that October 11th is International Day of the Girl Child? This day has been celebrated since United Nations adopted the holiday in 2012. International Day of the Girl is a time to recognize, empower, and advocate for better opportunities. Historically (and even today), girls have faced many inequalities. Legal rights, medical care, discrimination, violence, stereotypes, and unequal pay, name just a few. 2025’s theme is “The Girl I am, the change I lead: Girls on the frontlines of crisis.” Did you know GE offers customizable programs that discuss leadership, healthy relationships, and issues that women and girls face? Story sharing in girl/women-led spaces, and amplifying girls’ voices is so important! Email Dawn for more info: dawn@girlsempowered.org.

This week, we did 4 programs at The Yoga Gnome on masking. We taught the "gnomies" about the importance of being authentic and saving wears masks for Halloween. The girls decorated masks to represent their true selves, including their strengths, interests, and preferences. Thank you to Foundations Community Partnership for making these programs possible.

In line with 2025’s Hispanic Heritage Month’s theme, “Honoring the Past, Inspiring the Future,” Girls Empowered would like to recognize a Hispanic leader of today! In 2009, Sonia Sotomayor became the first Hispanic and third woman to serve in the United States Supreme Court. She grew up in a Bronx housing project to parents who were both from Puerto Rico. Sadly, her father suffered from alcoholism and passed when Sonia was only 9 years old. Despite Sonia’s challenging upbringing and what has been described as difficult relationships with both parents, she credits her mother as being her “life inspiration.” She has also shared that she gained inspiration from the Nancy Drew books. “I was going to college and I was going to become an attorney, and I knew that when I was ten.” Parallel that childhood inspiration, Sonia Sotomayor is also a published author, and in addition to a memoir, she also wrote several inspirational books for children with messages including “Just Shine!,” “Just Ask!,” and “Just Help!” We think Sonia Sotomayor is inspiring today and tomorrow too!
