Dr. MiShawna Moore • Founder & Visionary
Dr. MiShawna Moore is the founder and visionary of Be That G.I.R.L.!, Inc. a 501(c)(3) organization focused on creating leaders, through education and empowerment. For the past 15 years, she has worked with girls of color to see the light in themselves, regardless of their current circumstance. MiShawna was determined to be a part of the solution for girls of color. Out of this, Be That G.I.R.L.! was birthed.
MiShawna’s story is simple. It is a story of giving back the same opportunities that have been afforded her. It is a story of perseverance when times are hard, and a story of triumph when you finally accomplish your goal after naysayers say your dream cannot become reality. She wants all people, but especially girls and young women of color to know they can succeed, accomplish their life’s dream, and overcome any obstacles they face.
