After years of managing and advising company brands, Erika Cain witnessed how businesses were suffering from lack of character, integrity and purpose. Women-owned companies were especially struggling from the lack of defining their brand, hence the birth of the GIRL 24 Movement. Inspired by the Virtuous Woman in Proverbs 31, GIRL 24 is an initiative where good character intersects with quality business. With the hope of building a culture of gifted and ingenious female leaders - early in life - Erika designed a hands-on curriculum to train teen girls on the wisdom and viable structure of entrepreneurship and servant leadership. Since its inception, Erika has worked with hundreds of teen girls, training them in the ropes of business management, branding, public relations, storytelling, philanthropy, politics, banking, community leadership, and has since added to the Brand with GIRL 24 University (GIRL U), GIRLfacturing: How it's Made Tour, and Hey GIRL! Online. GIRL 24 has a proven track record of girls experiencing life-changing behavior and skills when it comes to being equipped to engage in the business world.
