Between ages 8 and 14, girls’ confidence levels can drop by 30% and lack of confidence can alter their career trajectories.
Girls outperform boys academically, yet men hold 80% of C-suite positions in the largest publicly held companies.
Women earn 55-87 cents for every dollar men earn and retire with 30% less money than men.

SPEAKER SPOTLIGHT
OUR FOUNDING STORY
Sisters Christophe & Sophie Davis have a passion for entrepreneurship that dates back to 2017 when they founded an origami business with their besties (and business partners). After saturating the market at school, they set their sights on expanding to the local farmers' market. Inspired by their entrepreneurial spirit and determination, their mom, Roxanne Christophe, went on to found Girls Crushing It. Now, as members of our Teen Advisory Board, they play a key role in leading our nonprofit—alongside several of their original business partners, who continue to sell their products at our pop-up shops.
