Emerging Pearls

🩷💚 Hue Knew?! A Pearlfectly Colorful Day! 🌈🧪✨10/17/2026 Our Emerging Pearls traded in their pearls for lab goggles and became little scientists for the day! 👩🏾‍🔬🔬 🌈 Milk & Magic (Milk Fireworks): Our Pearls explored the magic of science as drops of food coloring danced across milk with a little help from dish soap! A colorful lesson in surface tension! 🎨 🫧 Dancing Bubbles (Mini Lava Lamps): Using oil, water, food coloring, and a little Alka-Seltzer magic, our Pearls watched colorful bubbles rise and fall while exploring chemical reactions and liquid density! 💥 💎 Charmingly You!: Because every Pearl deserves a little sparkle! Our girls added another special charm to their bracelets, continuing to create keepsakes that celebrate their Emerging Pearls journey. 🩷 From curious minds to colorful discoveries, our Pearls learned that science isn’t just educational—it’s a whole lot of FUN! 🌟 A special thank-you to our small but mighty committee, wonderful parents and guardians, and everyone who helped make this hands-on experience a success! 🩷💚 Small Pearls. BIG Discoveries. Endless Possibilities! 🌈✨ #EmergingPearls #LambdaTauOmega #TwentyPearlsFoundation #PearlsInSTEM #BlackGirlsInSTEM #FutureScientists #LittleScientists #LearningThroughPlay #STEMForKids #BlackGirlMagic #ScienceIsFun #MentorshipMatters #PearlfectlyColorful

On 6/20/2026, the Emerging Pearls ended the program year with full hearts and beautiful memories. 💕 From Tea Time BINGO and personalized bouquet exchanges to certificates, hugs, and a few happy tears, our Emerging Pearls celebrated a year of growth, confidence, friendship, and girlhood. Congratulations to our eight Pearls who are aging out of the program—we are so proud of you and can’t wait to see you shine in your next chapter. 🌸✨ #EmergingPearls #Girlhood #TwentyPearlsFoundation #OnceAnEmergingPearl #AlwaysAnEmergingPearl Mrs. Paris Mays, LSW, Chairman, Ms. Nia Flynn, Co-chairman

This past Saturday, our Emerging Pearls had an amazing time decorating 20 Sweet Cases foster care bags for children in need. The girls used their creativity and kindness to create special bags filled with love and encouragement. Afterward, they also designed their own “Pearlfect” bags and enjoyed special treats together. 🎨🩷 We are so proud of our girls for giving back to their community while having fun and making memories! Special thanks to member Trudy for presenting this wonderful opportunity to our girls!

Experiences like this matter 💕 Today our Emerging Pearls learned about horse care, responsibility, and compassion—all while having fun and building confidence. We also enjoyed feeding alpacas, sheep, and goats. Special moments with a special group of girls.

Habitat Adventure: Animals & Plants 🐾🌿 Our Emerging Pearls had an unforgettable experience at the Homewood Science Center! 💎✨ From rainforests to deserts, oceans to tundras, the girls explored where animals live, how they survive, and what makes each habitat unique. They even met real animals up close and discovered how each one is perfectly adapted to its environment! Our 90-minute visit included: 🔬 30 minutes of guided learning 🧪 60 minutes of hands-on STEAM play The curiosity. The questions. The excitement. They were fully engaged — and honestly, they did not want to leave! We are committed to creating experiences that spark confidence, critical thinking, and a love for learning. Another day of building bright futures. 🩷Paris Mays, LSW Chairman 💚Nia Flynn, Co-chairman #EmergingPearls #STEMGirls #AKA #GirlsInScience #CommunityLeadership #FutureLeaders #HabitatAdventure #LambdaTauOmega #TwentyPearlsFoundation

On this past Saturday, January 17th, 2026, Our Emerging Pearls Mentoring Group kicked things off with fresh fruits, veggies, and baked chips. Then the girls got a chance to participate in a fun yoga flow led by member Larissa Ships 🧘🏽‍♀️. Next the girls refreshed with mint and eucalyptus towelettes, enjoyed a cold-pressed juice tasting (complete with guessing flavors) and they even had a cheerful “cheers” to their favorites. Each girl headed home with self-care beauty bags filled with spa treats to keep the glow going. It was a beautiful blend of wellness, fun, and girlhood. 💖💚 congratulations and well done to the event organizers Chairman: Member Paris Mays Co-chairman: Member Nia Flynn for orchestrating such a unique and special event. Special thanks to member Larissa Shipps our Yoga instructor. This event was a great way to start the new year 🩷 #EmergingPearls #FlexFlowGlow #SelfCareStartsYoung #YouthMentoring
