Struggles Young Females Face and the Importance of Mentorship

In 2021, I had the privilege of mentoring a young girl named Belle. When I first met her, Belle was feeling lost in life and searching for direction. She lacked confidence and struggled to find her path, but she had a deep desire for change. I started by coaching her in boxing, but over time, our relationship blossomed into something much more meaningful. Beyond teaching her the technical aspects of the sport, I began mentoring her, helping her navigate life’s challenges, build resilience, and gain a sense of self-worth.

Watching Belle transform from a young girl searching for guidance into a confident, determined young woman was incredibly inspiring. Her journey became a driving force for me to establish the It’s Her Foundation. The foundation was born out of my experiences with Belle, wanting to create a space where young women, like her, could receive the mentorship and support they need to overcome obstacles, find their direction, and build the confidence to pursue their dreams. Through mentorship, we can empower young women to break free from feeling lost and step into their true potential.
