IT GIRLS of MD Inc is a labor of love for its founder Keisha Jones. Very early in life she faced many obstacles and challenges that made her hope for love and encouragement from the adults around her. During those trying times she noticed having the support and encouragement of a trusted adult always made her days brighter. Through her prayers she saw the vision to use those experiences as the foundation to help those around her, particularly young ladies with similar experiences.
"Being in IT GIRLS has changed me for the better. Being a part of this lovely sister program has shown me how important it is to have female bonds in your life. Ms. Jones has made a great impact on my life and has helped change me for the better. She pushes me to keep going and never give up no matter what obstacles I face. I’ve learned to become friendly and open up my eyes for bigger and better opportunities that are out there for me. If I could do it all over again I definitely would! It was amazing."
