April Update:

Our May Chicktime activity at Treasured Protégée House brought beauty, confidence, and inspiration together in a truly special way.

We were honored to welcome Ms. Kat Franklin, a talented makeup artist known for working with local celebrities in television and media. Ms. Kat didn’t just bring her professional expertise—she brought encouragement, real-world insight, and a genuine passion for empowering young women.

During the session, Ms. Kat shared her career journey, offering a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to succeed in the beauty industry. She also gave practical, easy-to-follow makeup tips tailored specifically for job interviews and busy mornings—showing the girls how to create polished, professional looks without spending hours getting ready.

The highlight of the day was a full makeup transformation for one of the girls. Watching her confidence grow in real time was unforgettable. When she saw her finished look, her face lit up—she immediately started taking selfies, clearly proud and excited about her transformation. It wasn’t just about makeup; it was about seeing herself in a new, empowered way.

To make the experience even more meaningful, she was able to keep some of the Chica Beauty products Ms. Kat used, giving her the tools to recreate her work-ready look and carry that confidence forward.

This experience was a powerful reminder that sometimes, the smallest moments—learning a new skill, feeling seen, or simply having fun—can create lasting impact. We are so grateful to Ms. Kat Franklin and Chica Beauty for sharing her time, talent, and heart with us!
