"Cool Girls saw my obstacles, from poverty to low self-esteem and peer pressure and they gave me wings to fly higher. They introduced me to culture, mentors, camps, college scholarships and so much more."

"My Cool Sister pushes me to be the best."

"I look to many of my fellow peers as sisters. I look at all of us as a family."

"They showed me that I could be myself and it doesn't matter what other people think."
