Women's History Month Series: Behind The GirlTrek Movement

Off the Record with Georgette Pierre

50,000 women strong, non-profit organization, GirlTrek has been inspiring and influencing women and young girls throughout the country to take strides in the right direction for their health. What started off as a routine phone conversation between Vanessa Garrison and Tanya Morgan Dixon, later evolved into women feeling empowered and living more a fulfilled life, yearly fitness training programs, a national walking campaign, and much more. Taking steps towards social activism by focusing on public health, Vanessa joins me to discuss how her life has changed since GirlTrek, the goals and vision for the organization, and how you can get involved including their annual national walking campaign taking place nationwide.
