Education has the power to transform lives, and for Payton McGriff, founder of Style Her Empowered (SHE), this statement couldn't be more true. McGriff's journey began during her sophomore year at the University of Idaho when she read Half the Sky, a book that shed light on the oppression of women in developing countries.
Shocked by the statistic that 129 million girls worldwide are not enrolled in school, McGriff was inspired to take action. She discovered that something as simple as a school uniform could be a significant barrier to education for many girls in impoverished communities.
