The Stay Sweet Collection was created to enhance the inside, outside beauty of girls and young ladies. This is my small, but sincere contribution to help girls make a smoother transition into womanhood. I believe this is only the beginning of this purpose.
Four weeks ago I woke up with a sense of urgency. It was time for me to reach out and contact grass-root organizations that empower girls. In 2008, the birth of the Stay Sweet Collection, there was little success with donating products and money to organizations. I was happy, but still not the outcome that I hoped for. At the start of 2009, I contacted those organizations that I did not hear back from, and some new ones that I found through one of my Ning networks. Similar outcome. Now it was the end of 2009. What am I going to do now? When I woke up on that morning, I immediately went to the computer and drafted a letter. I went onto my Ning network and discovered there were several new grass-root organizations, and the ones that I contacted in the past were also still growing successfully. I emailed the letter. SUCCESS! Within a few hours I received positive responses. During the week I received a phone call from one of the organizations that I would not let up on. Dates were set. The calendar is filling up. They are excited. I am excited!
