D.I.V.A.S IN CHARGE: Best-Friends

Mission Statement

D.I.V.A.S IN CHARGE We are truly excited to announce a newly formulated Girls Organization by the name of D.I.V.A.S IN CHARGE. The name came about through the creative minds of afterschool group leaders working at University Settlement. It sends a powerful message which is what we are intending to do, Dynamic Inspiring, Vibrant, Artistic Sisters. A sorority if you will, that will be given a place to all young ladies to call their own where they will be taught important virtues that they will need in life. We are giving young girls an option, better yet a right to take charge. To be in control of my life, to take charge and accept responsibility. Every young girl, every DIVA has a voice that needs to be heard. Our mission is to create a safe and nurturing space for young girls to own their own feelings as well as their experiences. Empowering the minds of young girls to take creative risks and create without fear of being judged. Our sole purpose is to teach all young ladies of The DIVAS In Charge Club the importance of being a girl in this world, how their very existence is an essential key to unlocking the doors to life. We will be speaking and partaking in group activities that touch on subjects such as peer-pressure, bullying, social media, body image, hygiene, and friendship, when to say NO etc. If you have any questions/concerns/thoughts please feel free to email me at: divas_incharge@yahoo.com Sincerely,

Best-Friends

Growing up as young boys and girls we say everyone in our class is our best friend. Our next door neighbhor is our best friend. But as children we don't know any better. We're innocent and don't see the evils of the world. How we view things are completely different than adults.

Now as you grow older, your experiences with friends and best-friends changes. You no longer have the group of girls you used to hang out with everyday at school coming over for sleep overs and manicures. Where are they now?

I have had my share of best-friends and fall outs with them. But what I can say is this, there is no perfect best-friend. We all mess up and make mistakes. But that is all apart of human nature. Nothing makes us more Christ-like than to forgive others. Now I will admit I have a hard time forgiving. I guess it is because of things I have dealt with in my past. That does not make it right though. Holding grudges is something I will continue to work on, it is in no way healthy.

Now I have a handful of Best-Friends. There will be periods of times where we do not talk for a while. And then there will be times when we see eachother basically everyday. All for different reasons. We're adults now so our lives become busy with responsibilities and other things. Yes we argue and fight but what set of best-friends don't. If you do not argue with your best-friend there is something really wrong there. Is that friendship genuine? You won't always see eye to eye on certain matters. We're going to slip up. And we're going to have tit-for-tats. But when you are able to talk it out, get past it and laugh/joke about it. That is a TRUE friendship. Being able to over-come obstacles together. Forgiving and loving eachother flaws and all. I mean who wants a PERFECT best-friend? Not me, that would be so boring. Each friendship should be unique and different.

That is what I cherish about my friendships, despite the arguing. I appreciate the diversity and uniqueness of that individual. I would not want them to change for anything in the world because then they would not be the friend that I love and adore. I know I can depend on them even if they make mistakes and I hope they can depend on me even if I make mistakes. Because at the end of the day we are only human. I love you all.
Pain in the butts and all.

D.I.V.A.S In Charge is an up and coming Girls Organization. Located in the heart of New York City. Divas in charge are an all girls club set out to create a community where girls of all ages can own up to their feelings. An environment created to feel more personal, like a safe haven. We set forth to bring amazing experiences to these young girls. Our mission is to develop strong characteristics out of each and every girl, instilling essential virtues upon them. So that as they continue on their journey into womanhood later on in life they will transform from young girls in the neighborhood to mature outstanding young ladies. And as they grow into young, confident, bold, established, emerging female leaders in our society /community what we have gave to them, they will pass unto others in return. Here we will empower them, enabling them to use the most powerful tool, the most powerful weapon of all ...Their minds and their voices. To remain silent in the sight of injustice is the true crime. Stay Tuned.

D.I.V.A.S IN CHARGE PLEDGE:

As a D.I.V.A.S In Charge member…
I pledge to always be a dynamic young lady. Promising to be active in the community. To always think of others and their well being. To extend one hand to help others in need and the other to help myself as well.
I pledge to always inspire and share my gifts with the world. Never to second guess myself and the goodness of humanity. A random act of kindness goes a long way. To encourage a person who is low in spirit will reap a promising future for that soul and me, fighting less and loving more will increase the peace and form a tender core.
I pledge to be vibrant, to be a bright shining star. To reflect DIVA qualities among those that are around me. Making sure to remain true to who I am despite the negative influences that surround me, never to compromise my D.I.V.A.S characteristics. Even if all seems hopeless, dark and dismay I promise to be a gleam of hope never to go astray.
I pledge to be as artistic as can be. To cultivate, to motivate, to appreciate the uniqueness of everything around me. To see beyond the flaws that overshadows the beauty within. To paint the town the colors that radiate from the love that I show. To find use in things that society wants to throw away. One man’s trash is another’s mans treasure.
I pledge to be a sister to all DIVAS In Charge and all other females around me. Being a sister you share a lifelong bond. A sister is loyal, faithful and forever true. A sister is able to share divine secrets in confidence that it will never be exposed. A DIVAS In Charge member knows when to comfort her fellow sister, encouraging her to make her smile. Sisters stand beside one another through the good and bad. Sisters are best-friends till the end.
I am a D.I.V.A.S In Charge member and will pledge to fulfill this promise, living by the D.I.V.A.S Pledge.
