Kara's strong desire to empower the lives of girls and women started mostly as a young girl when she struggled with self-esteem.

After her two daughters were born, Kara went back to earn her bachelor's of science degree in psychology and graduated summa cum laude. During her studies, she chose to focus on women's issues. A seed was planted that not only fed her growing confidence, but eventually grew into her devotion to helping girls and women face today's myriad of challenges. All of these experiences have fueled Kara's passion to empower the lives of girls! Kara resides with her husband, and two daughters in Alpharetta, Georgia.

Elaine Bryant - Founder & Executive Director of Caring & Sharing, Inc - Douglasville, GA
While living in California, Ms. Bryant began independently to counsel teens involved in gang related activity and criminal conduct. She had such a passion for this undertaking that many of the teens confided in her regarding family circumstances as well as pending legal charges and court dates, which resulted in visits with numerous incarcerated teens. Subsequently, in 1993, Ms. Bryant relocated to Atlanta and established Caring & Sharing.
Through the years, Caring & Sharing has successfully organized several events, most recently, “I AM”… Fashion Show for the 3rd consecutive year, at Macy’s. Over twenty Stir It Up Girls took center stage and displayed their 60 seconds of gorgeousness! Her goal is to help adolescent girls overcome economic and social barriers and to become leaders and advocates in their communities regardless of their career choices. Ms. Bryant believes that regardless of academic standing, family history, or social conditioning, the seed of genius has been naturally implanted in all children.
