The tribe is the basis of what The Project for Girls platform is built on. The ultimate girl gang, one that provides a safe space for its members to inspire, share dreams, fears,  and make things happen. A community where the individual is celebrated, but togetherness is love. In our latest editorial we collaborated with the ultra talented Emily Payne of Devon Rose x SKO Habibi bringing fresh, iconic new looks to our beloved girl warrior. It is here we spotlight

nine unique girls from The Project for Girls who are paving their own path with courage, drive and creativity, while contributing to something bigger through partnership and unity.

Our Tribe:  Gabrielle Begun, Odessa Goldberg, Alexa Ponciano, Grace Wethor, Violet Lux, Kai Morton, Jillian Shea Spaeder, Chandler Moseley, Allegra O’Brien & Morgan Moseley

This is a second go for Alexa Ponciano via TPFG, as last year she wrote a beautiful and honest depiction of her life with her dual diagnosis of a brain tumor and Celiac disease at the early age of 8 years old. And how her survival of both (and currently living with Celiac) has changed the course of her life creating a newfound respect and appreciation for each and every day she has on this earth. Alexa is all about living life to the fullest, having fun, and staying positive.   And it is this light within Alexa that immediately drew me to her. She was willing to try anything. She was brave and vocal about her interests and her passions, making sure opportunities and experiences never past her by without a try. We talk to Alexa about her latest venture, WearsAlexa, a blog celebrating her love of fashion and her interest in showing girls ways to strut their personal style. And hey, its oh-so fun to be your own boss and create your own business!

A note about The Project For Girls

What’s The Project for Girls, you ask? It’s a new site, written for young women, by young women, about real challenges they face, as well as their creative dreams, big wins, and lessons they’ve learned. We talk to girls from all walks of life – Francesca Capaldi of “Dog with a Blog” and “Bunk’d” star Skai Jackson are a couple you might recognize – and go deep with personal Q&A’s and fantastic photos. Created by fashion photographer (Marie Claire, Sundance Film Fest, Seventeen Magazine) and The Project for Women Founder Lauri Levenfeld, The Project for Girls aims to be a brand new way for girls to gather online. It’s time to make the Internet feel good for girls.
