At Timbuk2 Academy, intentional stillness is part of our framework. We make room for our girls to slow down, breathe, reflect, and return to themselves because we understand the weight they often carry long before adulthood. In a world that too often rushes Black girls toward womanhood, we choose something different.….we refuse to participate in that rush.

Congratulations 🎊 to Sheguyma on completing an internship with the Mercer County Planning Department. We could not be more proud of her accomplishment.

“My internship deepened my understanding of how local governments develop and implement policies that shape communities. The experience reinforced my commitment to pursuing urban planning with a community development focus, because I believe land, policy, and public investment determine whether communities remain stable or face displacement. I want to help design systems that expand community ownership in historically Black neighborhoods.” ~Sheguyma, Timbuk2 Academy Student

Sheguyma is entering her second year at Rutgers University. Keep up the great work! You grow girl! 🌻
