121．"We give our girls the power to believe in themselves，go to college，and become tomorrow's leaders，" says Felicia Gibson Jaycox，the founder（创立者）and chief executive officer of The Power of You Teens （POYT）.The organization is based in Harlem，a historic African-American neighborhood in New York City.
Founded in 2014，POYT offers educational chances and positive（正面的）role models for teenage girls growing up in Harlem.These "Power Girls" take part in dance，summer camp，and STEAM education（Science，Technology，Engineering，Arts，and Mathematics），among other programs.The purpose，according to the group，is to empower teenage girls to help them "dream big and to inspire（激励）them to achieve the most that they are capable of."
POYT held its sixth yearly Empowerment Event in the fall of 2019 in New York City.The theme of "Girl Boss" inspired girls to show their inner boss spirit.Miss Teen USA Kaliegh Garris was the keynote speaker.
Kaliegh said that she and other beauty competition winners are helping to reshape traditional images of beauty and showing that women of color are not just beautiful — they also are driven，wise women whom little girls can look up to.
I asked Ashley McFarlin Buie，POYT co-director，what inspired founder and CEO Felicia Gibson to start the organization.Gibson saw the plight that girls of color are in.For some historical reasons，many girls of color are growing up in terrible neighborhoods.They seldom see people like themselves showed positively in movies，books，TV shows，and other media.
"Powerful girls grow up to be dependable and confident women，preparing for their futures as creative leaders，" Buie said.POYT centers on saving the mind，body，and spirit of Black girls through love and support，she added.
What do the girls get out of the group？ "We offer chances，" Buie said，"to break barriers（屏障）."
