Addison Harrell is on journey to discover her strengths and unique talents.

The 12-year-old is among many girls participating in the Strengthening Her Evolution, Inc. program. As a 2022 SHE explorer, Harrell and other girls between the ages of 8 to 16 are learning about leadership, finances, effective communication and cultural diversity.

The local nonprofit is working to empower young girls in the South Cobb area with tools and resources to build self-esteem and character, all while preparing them to meet their career ambitions and the economic conditions of the future.
