What’s in a Name?
HerShe:
The name HerShe is the two feminine pronouns combine signifying all that is beautiful and feminine.
Like the Cinderella of storybook fame, too many young girls face unthinkable family circumstances. Cinderella felt abandoned after losing both her mother and father and was forced to live in a home run by her evil step-mother. While this is a fairy tale, girls in foster care experience a similar abandonment. Similar to many of the HerShe girls, Cinderella, could have easily been a ward of the court and be just like one of the thousands of 17 years olds who are quickly approaching emancipation from a system that will have nothing to do with them when they turn 18 and leave them homeless and unprepared to care for themselves.
