When Ariana, a 17-year-old high school student, joined the BWB Minis Legacy Mentorship Program, she described herself as shy, unsure of her abilities, and uncertain about her future. She had dreams of becoming the first in her family to attend college but didn’t know where to begin.

Through BWB Inc., Ariana was paired with a mentor who guided her in setting personal goals, building self-confidence, and exploring scholarship opportunities. She attended our Pink Pumps & Power Moves event, where she connected with women entrepreneurs and saw living examples of what was possible.

Over time, Ariana’s confidence flourished. She not only applied to multiple universities but also began leading a peer group at her school, sharing what she learned from her mentor with other young women. Today, Ariana is enrolled in college with a scholarship, and she continues to mentor younger girls in her community.

Her words: “BWB Inc. didn’t just give me a mentor—they gave me a sisterhood. Now I know I can create a future that impacts not just me, but my family and the next generation.”
