Fulford was determined to start a program that would empower young girls.
She wanted to give them the tools to assist in achieving emotionally stable and self-confident futures. In hopes of bringing forth a generation of women who are strong, independent, and knowledgeable. I think the meaning changes for me daily at times, said Fulford. To me, I m just this black girl who had a dream and acted on it. Every tear that I have shed to create a pool was to have somebody swim across to their next opportunity. If I can use all the bad things in me to promote positive things to somebody else then I really believe that s my calling and I m doing what I m supposed to be doing.
