Posted on January 03 2019
When I reflect on my school days – at the age of 14/15 years old, I was very self-conscious. I was afraid to let my inner black queen blossom! I was afraid to embrace all of myself – flaws, awkwardness, and my unique beauty. Constantly hearing all of the ‘skinny jokes” from being called knocked kneed, to being so skinny I could “hoola hoop through a cheerio” – my awareness of self was absent. I only wished that I had a close knit group of women and girls my age that I could connect and aspire from.
Luckily for our young impressionable queens of our future, there’s “Fierce Pearls Life School”.
Dallas native, Sasha White, became inspired to pioneer a program designed to teach young ladies ranging from ages 5-18 how to dig deep within and tap into their Inner Goddess. FPLS teaches young ladies how to turn pain and adversity into success! Taking young ladies from “broken spirited girls to being child* business owners”, Sasha White explains in the interview below. I had the pleasure of meeting the woman behind such a truly special program based out of Dallas and here’s what she had to say:
Name / Brand Name: Sasha White, Executive Director and Owner of Fierce Pearls Life School

In your beginning phases, who did you look to for mentoring or support?
At the time, as a new entrepreneur, with no experience, I remember reaching out to one local woman in particular for mentorship. I got no response. That moment taught me to dig deeper inside and trust myself to create a brand that would best represent my vision. Years later, me and this same woman ended up as speakers on the same panel. Look at how our Heavenly Father works!
I do believe it’s valuable to surround yourself around creative strong minds and business professionals who are not in the same industry as you, this has become my source of inspiration and support.
Why did you start this organization?
I never thought about starting a non-profit organization until my life literally turned upside down in one day. In March of 2010, my mother and two God brothers died in a car accident by the hands of an unlicensed 18-wheeler truck driver. His negligence took the very best parts of me away, and left me with an unbearable void to continue life with. During this time, I heard a pastor say, “If you want to heal you must serve your way to healing,” so I went home to google and the rest was history. I knew that if I was experiencing this level of pain, some young girl, somewhere, could also secretly be hurting inside and needed emotional support for their transition. My mother died with no legacy, but I live to create one for the both of us.
How has your organization grown over time?
Word of mouth, waitlists and transparency has grown the organization. I do my best to be intentional with how I impact each young girl and their family, and the experiences I create. FPLS thrives as an extension to their village of support.
What type of work does your organization do or what type of programs does your organization offer?
We are a year -long mentoring program that meets once a month. We focus on the fun and trendy way of effective mentoring, while teaching purpose, confidence and entrepreneurship through workshops and exposure trips to girls five to eighteen. We offer two mentoring programs to separate our age groups. Our girls are offered programs from etiquette and social skills trainings to the creation of a business plan.
How has your programs impacted those you’ve helped or how has your organization improved over time?
We have partnered with corporations around the world which has lead us to create the most active mentoring workshops in town. Our girls get hands-on experiences with any moments they can dream of doing for a first time and walk away with new skills.
What is your most memorable moment so far within your organization? Seeing a few of our young ladies go from broken-spirted girls to kid business owners before age 11 had to be one of my most memorable moments so far.
Where do you see your organization in the next 2 years?
Recently, I graduated with my Masters in Counseling, I went back to school to show our girls how therapy is cool and helpful in so many ways, I plan on bringing more therapeutic services now to our organization as well as maintaining the importance of our mentoring programs. I also see us in a new home location that can do even more for our young ladies in the community.
What do you spend most of your personal time trying to achieve?
I spend a lot of time following up with our girls, keeping my team on one page and preparing for each workshop because I am so hands on with what I do.
