About Girls and Boys with Hearts
Girls and Boys with Hearts, (formerly Girls with Hearts) youth poetry group in the Nations Capital was established in nineteen hundred ninety seven by Sylvia Dianne Beverly, founder/director. Its first members were Shamis H. Beverly, Bernadette S. Brown; Jessica D.C. Gaines; Dana Makel; Nina Makel, Rochqual Cain; and Asantewa Disroe. Each girl has moved on to further their education. Bernadette was Valedictorian of her high school class and has moved on to Towson State University. Kyndall Brown, Monique Brown, Alonna Hagans, Myisha Robinson and Daquane Robinson are some of the regular members of Girls and Boys with Hearts. The group was formed with the mission of providing instructions, guidance and opportunities for young girls interested in the literary arts of poetry. They perform original poetry, as well as poetry of other favorite poets, such as Maya Angelou and Nikki Giovanni. They would like to publish a book of poetry, which they have already entitled "Sunshine Deep Within Our Hearts". Girls and Boys with Hearts Youth Poetry Group is open to other children and meets the 1st and 3rd Saturday of the Month.
