'Lisa's Girls' launches program to help empower BIPOC women and girls

The program, which formally launched Sept. 24, focuses on empowering BIPOC women and girls with leadership skills to help create intergenerational change.

INDIANAPOLIS — Indianapolis has a new resource helping to develop the next generation of leaders for the Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) community.

"Lisa's Girls" held a celebratory launch party at The AMP at 16 Tech on Sunday, Sept. 24.

The group's goal is to help all ages of women and girls of color gain the skills and resources needed for success. 

Co-founder Alexis Rogers said this started as a Girl Scout project and has grown for years. 

"We realize that we needed support in different ways," Rogers said. "We were high-achieving, always have been, but it takes more to achieve than just what we see. So we knew that we needed a village. And we have a really great family village, but sometimes, you need a village outside of that."

Lisa's Girls gets its name from Lisa Rogers, the mother of founders Alexis, Morgan and Mia Rogers.

Anyone interested in Lisa's Girls can still sign up for free at the program's website.
