Girls Write Now
Girls Write Now breaks down barriers of gender, race, age and poverty to mentor and train the next generation of writers and leaders for life. Together, our community channels the power of our voices and stories to shape culture, impact industries and inspire change.
"It’s hard to imagine my life without Megumi! We clicked almost immediately during our first session, as we discovered our mutual love of certain musical artists, commiserated about our tendency to overthink, and bonded over our shared and all-encompassing love of reading. On the surface, we’re very similar and get along wonderfully, but the true joy was getting to know who Megumi is at her core—deeply passionate about the things she loves, motivated, persevering, thoughtful, energetic, and multi-talented! She is always looking ahead to the next opportunity, and is so enthusiastic about what she pursues…She has brought dimensions to my life that wouldn’t otherwise be there, and I’m so grateful to know her!" —Maddie Wallace on her mentee, Megumi Jindo
