"Now I am Six" Empowers Girls age 6+, Through the Power of Storytelling. Founded by Collette Costello, a local mum born in Salford and winner of the 2010 Business Start-up Award aged just 24.
Reaching the age of six for many girls is an important milestone, often called "The Age of Reason". When girls start to question the world around them.
"One study of 5,000 children’s books found that a quarter had no female characters, and less than 20% featured a woman with a job."
How can girls believe they can do amazing things without being shown?
Our aim is to educate, inspire and empower girls to believe they can do and become anything. Showing them strong female role models, authors, writers, scientists and engineers. Holding events such as "Manchester Mum Authors, Books by Girls, for Girls".
