My name is Je'Milya Hudson and I am the president of P.E.A.R.L.S. Mentoring for Girls, Inc. Thank you for checking out our website, as I hope this gives you a better idea of what our chapter is about!

Our organization is full of girls who are one of a kind. Through P.E.A.R.L.S., I have met the most inspiring, kind, gracious, hilarious and fun-loving girls and women who serve as our role models. These women push me to strive for my best, and my teenage experience would not be the same without them. Everyone knows that teen life can be difficult but being surrounded by girls and women who inspire me everyday made that change much easier. As soon as I joint P.E.A.R.L.S., I began to make lifelong friends who have been by my side throughout my P.E.A.R.L.S. experience. I also know they will be by my side for the rest of my life.

As President, I am honored to lead a organization of diverse girls who consistently challenge me to be my best self. I invite you to explore our website, learn more about our involvements and experiences, and find inspiration in our motto just as I do every day.

We hope you enjoy learning more about our organization, and hope that you support us in our efforts to "Change Lives, One PEARL at a Time" in the State of Mississippi.
