Indigenous Girls Rock!

Spirit of a Woman

presents

Spirit of a Woman is a Wisconsin-based non-profit organization established in 2016 that offers personal and professional development opportunities to indigenous girls and women. Spirit of a Woman was founded on the belief that when we uplift each other, we can transform individuals, families and communities.

Spirit of a Woman co-founders Kelly Jackson (Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians) and Danielle Yancey (Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin) are passionate about investing in our current and future generations of women.

What is IGRC?

Indigenous Girls Rock Camp (IGRC) is the premiere program launched by Spirit of a Woman. IGRC is created in partnership with the Girls Rock Camp international organization to bring a first of its kind "indigenized" version of the program to Wisconsin's tribal communities.

IGRC is a 7-day empowerment music camp for girls ages 8-18. The camp provides unique programming that combines music education, performance, and leadership development. Under the direction of professional female music instructors, girls will: learn an instrument; form a band; write an original song; and perform a live concert. The program is designed to build girls' self-esteem, find their voices, and ROCK!

How can you help?

IGRC relies on the generous support of individuals, organizations, businesses, and community giving to deliver the summer music experience. The organization also seeks talented female musicians to serve as instructors and band leaders. If you are interested in making a contribution, or a musician that would like to get involved, please contact us at spiritofanikwe@gmail.com.
