FROM THE HEART OFMs. Patricia Carter
A note to families
Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.
Hello families! I’m Ms. Patricia Carter, the founder of Girl Keep Pushin’. As a mother, educator, licensed school social worker, and children’s author, I have seen how much young girls can bloom when they feel safe, supported, and truly heard.
I created this program from a deeply personal belief: a girl’s current chapter does not define the rest of her story. With encouragement, healthy connections, and someone reminding her of her strength, she can keep moving toward everything meant for her.
It is my honor to create a space where your daughter can build confidence, learn through real conversations, and know that she never has to walk through growing up alone.
With encouragement,Ms. Patricia Carter
