In February 2005, Angela was asked to conduct a youth "rap session" for girls living in the Jonesboro North & South Community Apartments in Atlanta, Georgia.  After several sessions, a group of 13 participants was given the name, "Just Girls!".  Initially, the focus was female health and abstinence-based sex education but once the need was realized for more in-depth education, the curriculum was expanded to include topics of self-esteem development, substance use prevention, domestic/dating violence prevention, work/study skills development, and financial fitness.  Some of the activities included field trips, the annual Mother/Daughter Luncheon, and a Christmas party. These sessions continued until 2009, when the apartment community permanently closed.

​

Although the program dissolved, Angela's vision never died! In January 2022, the vision was reawakened, and the program was revamped.  A new and improved curriculum was developed to include an 8-series program with topics of self-esteem development, sexual health and education, mental health & well-being, physical fitness & nutrition, substance use prevention, study & work skills development, etiquette and social skills, and financial awareness. Several of the classes are named in honor of three important ladies in Angela's life:  Lashelle Dixon's "All Things Etiquette!" class, the Doris Dixon-Banks Study & Work Skills Development class, and the Jada Banks Nutrition & Physical Fitness class. 

​

Her vision is to empower girls through fun-filled, life-enhancing activities with the knowledge and skills to maximize their life’s potential as they transition into ladies and grow into women!
