They were 'at-risk' girls. But she saw their promise and worked to change their story
Briefly

"I'm talking about the girls that we used to call 'at risk', and we want to change that, because these girls have a lot of promise. They're so smart and they're brilliant. And they're resilient and persistent and funny and beautiful."
"Girl Power Rocks has several programs dedicated to educating and empowering what Campbell calls 'at-promise girls.'"
"Thema Campbell was raised in her Mama Hattie's house, along with dozens of other children in rural Georgia. She had a strict hand as far as discipline is concerned, but she could heal you if you got sick."
"Campbell also started a program for first-time offenders called Girls Intervention Program Plus after realizing that these girls, ages 13-17, were dealing with traumatic issues that were leading them down a pathway to trouble."
