For the past 6-weeks, the Mighty Writers South Philadelphia location has been hosting the Diamond Daughter Corporation, where we shared our Professional Prep Curriculum with an inspiring group of young ladies. Though they might only be in 7th to 10th grade, they impressed us with their maturity, grand ideas and phenomenal feedback each week. These ladies left us in awe with each response to their workbook questions. On Tuesday November 14th, a limo donated by the Cancer Treat

On Tuesday October 2nd, our Founder Angela Deery, was invited by the Women of Tomorrow Mentor & Scholarship Program to sit and chat with a group of young women from George Washington Carver High School for Engineering and Science. It was a great experience for both DDC and the young women in the group. Angela had an open discussion about resumes and cover letters. She was able to give a sample of both documents and talk about the importance of having a complete resume and cov

We are so happy to get things started, it has been a long time coming. Let us begin by saying “Thank you!”, we would not have been able to do this without the support of our friends, family, the DDC board members, and the team which is continuing to grow with us. Our pilot program is set to begin on October 10th with the Mighty Writers located in South Philadelphia.
