Project DIVA International
Thank you so much for helping us reach our BIG $100,000 goal to provide scholarships and memberships for our girls to build, dream, and actively live the life they envision through our Academy programs and Expert support!
The mission of Project DIVA International (PDI) is to guide adolescent Black girls, ages 12-18, through a self-discovery journey centered on creating and owning their own life success PDI’s leaders guide enrolled girls to be honest about their truths, giving them permission to align with their birthright freedoms of life, liberty and the pursuit of abundance, and to embody their life's vision as they expand in their sense of inner power. Together with their leaders girls learn intentionality in advocating for themselves and their individual needs regarding educational support, career ideation, and domestic/international experiential learnings.
Project DIVA International’s number one goal for each cohort of girls is freedom in every area of a girl's life including: Intellectual liberation, economic liberation and global connection liberation. To BE free to live as they envision.
Through the personal and professional development curriculum developed by the Project DIVA International leaders and supported by the cognitive sciences, young Black girls enter into expanded phases of their lives making strong connections with themselves. Simultaneously they learn about, explore, and then join the working communities in leading in areas of service that align with who they are, with the intentions of being compensated for the talent they provide.

Intellectual Liberation - Results through sharing lived experiences, creating personal connections and our self-development academy.
Project DIVA International provides a curriculum that is culturally grounded and intentionally designed to expose girls to cognitive science concepts that create mindshifts in their thoughts and behaviors toward their envisioned success.
Birthright Liberation - Girls approaching life and their future with a freedom to be curious, having a determination to own their truth and to being in love with being economically successful.
Girls complete their Self-Discovery Blueprints annually in August. This allows us to be able to follow what they believe to be a successful school/home life year for them. This encourages individualized critical thinking and positive decision making.
Global Connection Liberation - Girls experiencing travel experiences, creating global connections towards expanding their communal and career networks.
