  • MI9 Team book back cover

The MI9 Team is a group of nine superheroes who joined forces to achieve social change. Each member represents one of the nine multiple intelligences (hence the name of the team: MI9): verbal-linguistic, logical-mathematical, visual-spatial, to name a few and embodies a specific character trait, like leadership, determination and tenacity. Like many of us, their pasts are filled with hardships. These dedicated individuals found ways to overcome their struggles and obstacles to succeed and become the superheroes they are today. However, they have their work cut out for them. The MI9 Team must constantly defend themselves and protect others as they battle against a band of six supervillains, who are dead set on destroying anything in their paths. MI9 Team is a collection of short stories that introduces each one of the characters and sets the stage for a battle between good and evil.

Available as paperback and Kindle.

Who We Are

Educator Approved

eGirl Power is an IRS-approved 501(c)3 nonprofit organization with a mission to bring awareness to Gender Equality and support Girls' Education.

Our goals are to empower girls in New York City and beyond to improve their confidence, self-esteem, and achieve their full potential.

The key objective is to empower teenage girls to identify and build upon their personal skills and talents, and prepare for college and career readiness through educational workshops, field trips, mentorship and more.

eGirl Power is created and led by a team of educators with collectively over 100 years of classroom experience.

Why We Exist

Overcoming the Confidence Gap

Girls and the Confidence GapStark gender differences are evident when students express how they perceive their abilities; and data shows that a lack of confidence is negatively affecting girls in the classroom. Research suggests that low confidence among teenage girls will result in failing to achieve their professional potential as women. In fact, only one in three girls with low self-esteem are confident in having a successful career; and this low self-esteem drastically reduces the likelihood of girls to follow ambitious career paths.

This lack of confidence is found to detrimentally affect females not just in the classroom, but in the workforce as well. In the year 2016, women have never been more powerful than they are currently. They are making strides in every industry in the country. They are fighting for equality and opportunities that weren’t offered before, and they are winning. More than half of the workforce is comprised of women and they are receiving more college degrees than men. Yet, they represent only five percent of the Chief Executives of the largest companies in the United States. The reason being a “lack of confidence”. While women have the competence to compete for top-level jobs, often their confidence is the factor holding them back.

The great news is that this is a trait that can be reversed with action.

eGirl Power empowers girls to improve their confidence, self-esteem, and achieve their full potential.
