In celebration of Women’s History Month, the Louisiana Girls Rock Foundation hosted the “I Am HERSTORY” event in Winnfield, Louisiana, on Saturday, March 1, 2025. This event provided high school students from Winnfield Senior High School and Jonesboro-Hodge High School the opportunity to educate, inspire, and motivate the next generation of young girls in grades 2-8. The students spoke about the impact of influential women—past and present—who paved the way for future generations, encouraging young girls to dream bigger and become the best versions of themselves.

Attendees participated in the “I Am HERSTORY” Walk, where they learned about twenty-two remarkable women who took risks, challenged the status quo, and created opportunities for future generations. During the walk, participants played a game in which they had to identify and record the names of all twenty-two women. Those who completed their game cards were eligible for prizes.

The event also honored one of Winn Parish’s own, Princis Goff, who was presented with a Certificate of Achievement for her accomplishments both on and off the basketball court. In just her 52nd career appearance as a member of the Louisiana Christian University Wildcats Women’s Basketball Team, Goff cemented herself as one of the top scorers in school history, reaching 1,000 career points. She also participated in the “I Am HERSTORY” event by sharing her journey and signing autographs for attendees.

Students who took part in the event included:
From Winnfield Senior High School – Farrah Lewis, Jamiah Smith, Ja’Nyiah Weary, Kennedy Weston, Khristyonna Scott, Macey Anderson, Madison Foster, Maleigha Brown, and Persia Davenport.
From Jonesboro-Hodge High School – Jaidon Venzant, Ma’Riyah Jones, and Sa’Tavia Qualls.
