OUR REALITY: In some shape or form, all of us are the first in our families to do something. Whether it’s succeed at a sport or travel to a new country; or an accomplishment such as writing a book or earning our master’s degree — you are achieving that “first” thing right this very instant.
THEIR REALITY: See that young girl in the picture above? She’s smiling because she’s at school. What most of us took for granted growing up — nurturing teachers, playgrounds at recess, a library full of imaginative fiction — these young girls can’t even imagine. Because they don’t know what we had — all they know, and can value, is a desk with some books, pencils and the chance to be the first in their family to learn.
YOUR OPPORTUNITY: To raise awareness about the importance of educating young girls’ worldwide, She’s the First has partnered with independent designer Asha Patel to create the first She’s the First bracelet to benefit the Shanti Bhavan school in India as well as the Kenya Education fund. Catch a glimpse of the bracelet below, and buy it online to support She’s the First and the empowering effects of education here.

With a teen girls’ education costing an average of $100 to $200 per year, the purchase of one bracelet isn’t just a drop in the bucket — it’s a stylish statement of support toward a cause that improves the lives of women so that they secure jobs and support their families while also empowering the future of their country’s economy.
HER EDUCATION: She’s the First is dedicated to supporting the sponsorship of girls’ education worldwide. To celebrate their one year anniversary — and the successful sponsorship of 30+ girls in developing nations worldwide – I invite you to join me [as the event's emcee!] at the non profit’s birthday soiree in New York City at Pop Burger. Tickets are on sale now — with perks like a one hour open wine bar and in true birthday honor, complimentary cupcakes & cake.
Style is temporary. But education? That’s forever.
Contact She’s the First president & founder Tammy Tibbetts at Tammy@shesthefirst.org to learn more about She’s the First and how you can get involved.
