Those early challenges came full circle years later as a teacher, when she saw so many of her students facing the very same struggles. She knew something had to change \u2014 so she started&amp;nbsp;Girls Positivity Club to create safe, empowering spaces where girls could lift one another up, find their voices, and realize their own power and potential. What began as a small after-school club has now grown into a movement \u2014 reaching schools and communities across the country and inspiring a generation of confident, compassionate young women. Melissa\u2019s work is rooted in one simple but transformative belief: when girls believe in themselves, they can change the world. This episode is part of our Every Woman, Every Girl campaign \u2014 celebrating the truth that every woman and every girl has power, purpose, and a story worth telling.
