MSU Graduate | Business Owner

REAL GEMS was a divine blessing, offering a profound framework of servant leadership, love, and self-assurance that I hadn't realized I lacked. My experience with GEMS proved to be a resource for healing, a haven for security, and a close-knit community fostering sisterhood.

Jordyn

Being A GEM has been a transformative experience for me. Having a person like Ms. Hill in my life at a young age set the foundation for me to move beyond what I thought I knew. Ms. Hill has always had an eye for seeing the hidden potential and pulling that out of you, whether you see it yourself or not. Being a member of REAL G.E.M.S challenges your perspectives, encourages personal growth, and creates a sisterhood of empowering women. Ms. Hill's genuine excitement and encouragement for the young generation of women to grow into the best versions of themselves is so pure, which is why REAL G.E.M.S will continue to flourish.

REAL GEMS was something I never thought I would be able to fit into due to my confidence level at the time, until the ladies already involved showed me it's a confidence booster! Having a community of supportive women and an even more supportive mentor gave me the head start I didn't know I needed.

REAL GEMS helped me get out of my shell and made me feel good about being a part of something other than basketball. I'll always remember the foundation it gave me as a young woman and the real-life skills it taught me. I'm currently a remote Medical Coder and am proud to say that GEMS will always play a part as I excel in life and my career.

Trinity

I truly believe that without REAL GEMS, I wouldn't be the woman I am today. The invaluable lessons I acquired not only motivated me to evolve into an inspirational leader but also shaped me into the strong and resilient woman I am today. GEMS instilled in me the significance of giving back to my community, the true essence of sisterhood, and the importance of maintaining high standards in all aspects of my life. Thanks to the exceptional mentorship provided by Ms. Hill, I genuinely wouldn't be the amazing woman I am today without her love and this life-changing program.

REAL GEMS has impacted the woman I am today by teaching me empathy. To be able to understand and connect with other people in a soft manner truly speaks volumes to the next person. REAL GEMS taught me how to be an effective leader, a person who knows how to give clear communication and build confidence while empowering others to feel confident in themselves. Without GEMS I honestly can't say I would be the woman I am today. I find myself always going back in my memory and connecting the present time to each workshop Ms. Hill had us participate in. I know the true meaning of sisterhood because of her!

REAL G.E.M.S has played such a pivotal role in my life and will forever be a part of me. There are so many tools that I use in my life today that I learned from G.E.M.S and Ms.Hill. I still remember a lot of the lessons ranging from handling conflicts in friendships, understanding your self-worth, and touching on how certain events in history affect us as black girls. I truly am grateful to have been in a space where I was surrounded by genuine love and support as a young black girl. My time in REAL G.E.M.S has allowed me to nurture my self-esteem and grow into a beautiful well-rounded young lady.
