Community Service

Jackson Public School

Jackson Public School

For Brown Girls, Inc. will be participating in year-round community service assisting the Community Kitchen at Stewpot that caters to the homeless and less fortunate. True happiness comes from feeling grateful for what you have and spreading joy without expecting anything in return. Most of us spend a lifetime learning this. 


You can experience fulfillment in the most real sense by returning something to the community. Material wealth can always be earned, but enjoying a feeling of satisfaction and gratification is possible only when you do something for others. Stewpot Community Services is located in West Jackson.

Jackson Public School

Jackson Public Schools understands that community involvement is a vital component for successful schools. It takes a village to raise a child. For Brown Girls, Inc. will offer opportunities to support Jackson Public School District. We plan to be involved in several program areas such as charity, student achievement, student incentives, teacher appreciation, character development, career exploration, school improvements, and community services. Our Founder/CEO serves on the Jackson Public School District P-16 Community Engagement Council.

Hunger For Change Campaign

Hunger For Change Campaign

The Mississippi Food Network (MFN) has been feeding Mississippians since 1984. Their vision is to eliminate poverty-related hunger in our service area. For the eighth straight year, Mississippi has been identified as the country's most food insecure state. 


Helping your local food bank is vital to the working poor in your community. Our main goal for our Hunger For Change Campaign is to partner with MFN and serve our service area by donating 600 meals quarterly to this agency. 

Building Communities

Tutoring and Mentorship

For Brown Girls, Inc. will be working to fulfill homeownership's dream for low-medium income families in the greater Jackson area. Habitat For Humanity is known to bring people together to build homes, community, and hope. We are honored to participate with this organization and help create homes for low-income families in Jackson, Mississippi. Our partnership and participation with Habitat For Humanity Mississippi Capital Area are called #RESTOREJxn. 

Tutoring and Mentorship

Hunger For Change Campaign

Tutoring and Mentorship

Tutoring & Mentorship will mobilize Jackson's youth's learning needs, particularly those living in low-income households, single-parent families, and neighborhoods where violence and other factors not conducive for learning to exist. For Brown Girls, Inc. plans to partner with the Boys & Girls Club of Central Mississippi and provide early interventions in the lives of disadvantaged youth who face learning challenges by supplying individual support, care, and guidance to help them achieve academic success. 


By cultivating trustworthy relationships, the tutor and/or mentor will serve as a medium for the child to receive the resources necessary for their physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual growth.

Our Story

The Legacy of For Brown Girls:

Being innovative means doing things differently or doing things that have never been done before. On November 30, 2015, the founder and CEO of For Brown Girls, Inc., Dr. Kia Monique Jones, envisioned a group of women consuming knowledge and strategically assisting in advocating for disadvantaged Mississippians. On that day, For Brown Girls, Inc. was born. 


For Brown Girls, Inc. is a nonprofit organization representing a group of women from all walks of life. Our mission is to uplift, motivate, and cultivate the minds of women of color. Our primary focus is strengthening marginalized communities. For Brown Girls, Inc. is dedicated to empowering women and girls to lead, create our future, and transform our world. Too many good ideas for making the world a better place go unheard or unrealized. For Brown Girls, Inc. wants to address these ideas. 


Dr. Jones has begun to create a legacy where more Brown Girls worldwide saw the vision and wanted to be apart of the legacy and a Change Agent for their communities. We are proud to announce that For Brown Girls, Inc. has expanded. As of January 1, 2018, we now have Chapters in California, Arizona, Texas, Florida, Louisiana, and Georgia. 


We advance women's interests, disadvantaged youth, and families through community service, mentoring, educational programs, advocacy, networking, and exercising the collective power of diverse women idealists with opportunities for action and collaboration. In November 2019, For Brown Girls, Inc. was named one of the Top Non-Profits in Mississippi by the Mississippi Business Journal. Our organization's motto is "Empowered women, empower communities."

Thriving vs. Surviving

Thriving vs. Surviving

Thriving vs. Surviving

 There is a fundamental difference between thriving and surviving. Surviving means, “to continue to live or exist,” while thrive can be defined as “to grow or develop well, to prosper or to flourish.” The difference between these mindsets are relatively straightforward.

Thriving vs. Surviving

It’s so easy to feel the need to fill up your schedule because your open time is viewed as “free” time instead of “me” time. When do you get to take the time to cut out time for yourself when there’s so much being asked of you or that you want to do?
