The Project Butterfly Book Continues To Evolve!
Back in 2002, the original Project Butterfly book, in its 8 1/2 x 11 inch, spirial bound, 404-page format was born as the foundation for afterschool programs in the Chicagoland area, as well as for countless culturally centered programs for teen girls of African descent across the country. Women, who have purchased previous versions of the book and /or attended the Facilitators Training (based on the book), continue to use this book as a curriculum guide, rites of passage resource, as well as a culturally sensitive personal and spiritual development tool.
After over 20 years, much (if not all of the content) is ready for a refresh. Our society has changed quite a bit over the years and our girls have changed too. Despite it all, at our core, there are foundational and fundamental aspects of us that are consistent. Our girls still need relevant material that caters specifically to our cultural identity and anchors us spiritually, emotionally, and psycho-socially to the truth of who we are. So, an updated version of Project Butterfly the book is in the works and I can't wait to share it with you!

Endorsements for the Original Project Butterfly Book:
“Project Butterfly is a treasury of wisdom, and the accompanying workbook is engaging and meticulously thought out. Together they go deep in offering our daughters the strengths they will need traveling the challenging road to womanhood: a passion for learning, critical thinking and self-esteem. Niambi Jaha-Echols has given a great gift to Black girls.”
