Babers, along with other young women (ages13-19), and mentoring adults, have created a unique non profit organization and magazine, that honors young girls by sharing their inspirational stories along with fun articles on fashion,
beauty, confidence, entertainment, fitness and health. The magazine is published quarterly and always features a local young woman on the cover.
