Girls Like Me, Inc. was birthed by founder Elisa Wiah in 2007 as an online magazine (and later a mentoring program) while she was still in high school. She wanted to create a place online for girls like herself (young, hopeful, determined, shaped by tough life experiences, morally conscious), ran by girls like herself. The online magazine and mentoring program has endured changes, transitions, and opposition over the years. However, the mission to provide a place for girls to be themselves, to ask for help, to communicate with one another, to dream, and to create the lives they want has always remained. Today, Girls Like Me encourages girls through the mentorship program, the blog/magazine, and the movement.http://www.girlslikemeinc.com
