Nancy J. Lewis is the president of Progressive Techniques, Inc. Her program for middle-school girls, Divine Young Ladies, is in its sixth year of operation. When first starting this program she directed her attention to elementary school girls. However, when the mayor suggested she focus on middle-school aged girls who are at an important, pivotal time in their lives, she agreed that this was indeed a worthwhile program that needed and deserved attention.
Lewis states, “We work with urban girls who are at-risk and face challenges; my team of volunteers teaches them about character, self-esteem and how to love the skin they are in; we also talk about the importance of a quality education and having God in your life.” She believes that if you change the hearts of teen girls, then you can change their lives.
Shortly after creating Divine Young Ladies, Lewis launched a women’s entrepreneur seminar series entitled, “Transforming Women Entrepreneurs.” These quarterly seminars provide information and education for businesswomen and a place where they can connect.
Nancy J. Lewis believes that “we” as Black women and girls are important and deserve to understand the importance of loving ourselves and finding our purpose.
