"It's about helping girls figure out who they are first."

Those words from our Program Manager of College & Career Readiness, Bya Bradley, capture what PEARLS is all about.

Success isn't just measured by college acceptance letters or career titles. It's built through confidence, self-awareness, and knowing your own strengths. When girls understand who they are, they're empowered to create a future that's uniquely theirs.

Proof that when one chapter closes... a Spirit Halloween opens.

All jokes aside, today marks our one year anniversary of moving offices! We think fondly back on the old space (the team especially misses being next door to HoneyBee Sage) but we love our new office and neighborhood!

Join us in welcoming back Ladasia Bryant to the PEARLS team as a Community Outreach Associate!

LaDasia was with PEARLS during the 24/25 school year as a Program Coordinator and has come back to join the Marketing team.

Outside of PEARLS, LaDasia is STEAM Teacher at MILWAUKEE ACADEMY OF SCIENCE, Face Painter, owns Braided Magazine which uplifts the voices and creativity of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, and hosts a variety of other events around Milwaukee and in Chicago. She is currently the Co-Curator for the Bronzeville Week Artwalk!

Hear from LaDasia below:
What brought me back to PEARLS is that I really wanted to expand my marketing and communications experience. Even when I was a PC I often tried to work on the MARCOM Team and they took time to remember that and contacted me when they could offer me space to enter the marketing and communications sphere which I am so grateful for. My favorite moments are definitely all the times we come together whether it's a meeting or staff outing there is never a lack of laughter.

Welcome back, LaDasia!
