Streams Learning Hub
A community for belonging, creating, & discovering.
Project Girlhood
DITCH THE FILTERS · DECONSTRUCT THE HUSTLE · FIND YOUR SISTERHOOD
“I’ve spent 20 years in the heart of the fashion and entertainment industries. I’ve seen the magic, but I’ve also seen the machinery designed to make young women feel like they are never ‘enough.’” Katelyn
Project Girlhood is a monthly sanctuary for girls aged 14-17, designed as a gentle counterculture to the noise of beauty standards, social media, and the pressure to perform.
Rooted in seasonal rhythms and the wisdom of the body, each session pairs an honest deconstruction of a cultural myth with a hands-on, analog workshop.
No phones,
no filters,
no fixing - just a growing sisterhood learning that who they already are is more than enough.
