Flourishing Blossoms Analysis

Decent Essays
The organization that I observed is the Flourishing Blossoms Society for Girls, Incorporated. This organization was created by two former undergraduates’ students of Morgan State University by the name of Valenica Clay and Carissa Harrison. The creation of their organization began in 2008 with an idea. Their idea became a reality in the fall of 2010 at Baltimore Freedom Academy. Clay instituted the program at the current school she was teaching at in 2010. Both of these women have a passion for uplifting young women through the method of direct contact. The four pillars that the Flourishing Blossoms Society for Girls, Inc. pushes to the young ladies that they feel are the most important for young ladies include beauty, health, wealth, and service.
