Two Brands. One Purpose.

  • Girlfriends Ink

    Founded by Jessica Pitre, Girlfriends Ink is where bold dreams meet strategy.

    What started as my personal way of planning through pressure has grown into a movement—empowering women to get clear, stay consistent, and live intentionally. From signature yearly planners to community-driven events, this brand is more than pretty paper. It’s a lifestyle. It’s sisterhood. It’s planning with purpose.

    Plan boldly. Live intentionally. 💖

    Be Girlpwrd Inc.

    I created Be GIRLPWRD to give girls what I wish I had growing up—confidence, clarity, and community.

    As a nonprofit, Be GIRLPWRD helps middle and high school girls build self-worth, set bold goals, and map out their futures with purpose. Through workshops, mentorship, and creative expression, we’re raising the next generation of powerful, purposeful women.

    Because when a girl knows her power, she becomes unstoppable.
