Celebrating 25 Years
of impact, hope and "Improving
Our World, One Girl at a Time"
On September 13th, Girl Power Rocks proudly celebrated 25 years of impact, hope and a legacy of empowering at-promise girls through mentorship, education, and life-changing opportunities.
The evening was filled with unforgettable moments of surprise, excitement, beauty and heartfelt gratitude. Family, friends old and new, students, community leaders, and supporters gathered to honor both the resilience of our girls and the collective power of everyone who helped make our 25-year journey possible. Hearing the angelic voices of our girls’ choir was a powerful reminder of why our mission matters and how deeply it touches lives.
As we look ahead to the next 25 years, our commitment remains unwavering: to create safe spaces for healing, to amplify the voices of girls who deserve to be heard, and to expand opportunities that shape brighter futures. This milestone is not only a celebration of where we’ve been but also a call to action for the work still ahead. With your continued partnership, we will keep building a community where every girl knows she is valued, capable, and unstoppable.
I will always be grateful for your love, trust, and belief in the limitless potential of at-promise girls. Thank you for standing with us through the years. Because of you, the next 25 years will shine even brighter for generations of girls to come.

Humbly yours,

Shining Bright: Meet Alexandria
This month, we’re excited to highlight 9-year-old Alexandria, a bright and talented 5th grader who is homeschooled through Global Field Academy. With a birthday coming up on October 25th, Alexandria brings a joyful energy and creative spark to everything she does.
Alexandria excels in math, language arts, and cooking, but her favorite subject is reading, something that fuels her imagination and love for learning. She dreams big, with aspirations of becoming both a singer/performer and a language arts teacher for 3rd and 4th graders. Her creativity doesn’t stop there, she also enjoys singing, dancing, and drawing in her free time, always finding new ways to express herself.
​
She's been a member of The Girls Choir of Miami for the past three years. For Alexandria, being on stage brings an adrenaline rush she absolutely loves. She thrives in front of an audience, and choir gives her that
exposure and excitement. Girl Power has helped her build confidence, meet new people, and better connect with her personality. Alexandria encourages other girls to join too, sharing how empowering and fun the experience can be.
​
When she’s not performing or learning, you can catch Alexandria enjoying SpongeBob SquarePants, her favorite TV show. She says it’s “goofy, fun, and relatable”—much like her own joyful and unique personality.
Alexandria is a powerhouse when she performs and a shining example of a girl who rocks!!

Glimmering in hues of pink and purple, Girl Power Rocks’ “Shining Beyond the Stars” 25th anniversary gala filled the Coral Gables Country Club with live performances and an elegant celebration on Saturday night. The star-studded event marked a milestone in the nonprofit’s mission toward empowering girls through mentorship, leadership and education.
​
At the center of Girl Power Rocks is Thema Campbell, the nonprofit organization's president and CEO, who says she has felt empowered to witness not only the organization's growth but also the transformation of the young women she's met along the way. Campbell began her career in finance, a field she enjoyed, but her life shifted when she began volunteering with children. Inspired by her grandmother, Hattie Skinner Bacon, affectionately known as “Mama Hattie,” Campbell built Girl Power Rocks on the principle of creating safe havens for young women in need.

Upcoming Events
Friends of Girl Power already know that each October, Girl Power Rocks Miami hosts the Pink Party—a powerful and purposeful event held during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This annual tradition is more than just a celebration; it’s a moment of education, empowerment, and sisterhood.
​
At the heart of the Pink Party is our mission to educate the at-promise girls we serve about breast health, what signs to look for, how to advocate for themselves, and what to do if they or someone they love suspects something might be wrong. We believe knowledge is power, and early awareness can save lives.
​
But we also know that learning doesn’t have to be heavy. To lighten the atmosphere and bring some seasonal fun, we combine the Pink Party with a Halloween celebration!
​
From costumes and candy to music and games, it’s a joyful mix of purpose and play.
Girl Power Rocks the Runway returns with even more impact, once again in proud partnership with Kith Kinnect Foundation from New York City and Miami’s Ethnicity Models. Together, we’re bringing a dynamic, inclusive fashion experience that celebrates girls of all ages, styles, and backgrounds.
The runway becomes a stage for confidence, creativity, and community—where individuality shines and empowerment take center stage.
Be on the lookout for more details soon, you won’t want to miss this powerful celebration of Girl Power!
