Hi! I’m Chinny Okpara.
I am an educator and mentor working with youth and families in the Austin area. I am also a wildly intentional mother of 2 (Isabelle & Jonas), wife, sister, daughter, and friend. As the founder and lead facilitator of Girl Space ATX, I work with young people as a mentor and girls' empowerment coach. I use my expertise as a former teacher to develop engaging curriculum and facilitate programming for pre-teens and teens with a focus on navigating the complexities of adolescence and developing social and emotional intelligence.
I am deeply passionate about creating authentic community spaces for people (especially girls, young women and mothers) to develop strategies and tools to feel more deeply connected with themselves and each other. My mission is to connect with and encourage young girls to use their inherent wisdom to move forward confidently and take up space in this world.
