2011 Recipient: Tracie Gilbert
Tracie Gilbert won the 2011 Turning Point Prize for her project, The Empowered Mom’s Think Tank (TEMTT). TEMTT is a 10-month community education initiative, geared toward helping women gain the tools they need to help their pre-teen and teen daughters make healthy, empowered decisions about complex social topics. Through a series of once-a-month, 3-hour facilitated workshops, women will work as a collective to co-create the foundational messages they want their teens to know about how the world works, in ways that affirm their experiences, values and realities, yet support and encourage their continual growth and enlightenment. While TEMTT is open to women of all walks of life, special emphasis will be given to addressing the specific challenges facing African American women and girls from predominately low and moderate-income communities.
