Meet the Team Behind Girls That Create
Founding Vision
Girls That Create (GTC) is an independent website providing parenting resources for raising creative girls while also encouraging greater female representation across the arts. Girls interested in the arts and humanities must have support during their younger years, much like their sister counterparts who love STEM.
Our purpose is to nourish future female creators through content on parenting, women creators, creative resources, and empowering environments. We are an ally to all marginalized groups across the arts.
