Beautiful You
This is our conversation with BEMI:
equanimity:
How many students is
BEMI enrolling a year?
Bemi:
We first opened our doors to
the daughters of my intimate circle of
girlfriends. It was about six girls in total,
to be exact. We wanted to give back to
the next generation of girls something
we realized was missing in our own
childhoods. Before we could effectively
mentor the next generation, we had to
ensure that we were able to successfully
and effectively mentor, teach, coach and
lead the children in our homes first. My
girlfriends and I wanted to make sure
that the principles we teach could be
consistently demonstrated by both the
mentor and mentee. In four short years,
BEMI enrolled an average of 30 young girls
& boys annually. Now that we are "Partners
in Education" with the Frisco Independent
School District, we are looking for our
enrollment to double, even triple. Our
enrollment period occurs annually during
the period of October 1st through
January 8th.
equanimity:
Who qualifies
for mentorship?
Bemi:
The Butterfly Effect Transformation
team represents a diverse group of ordinary
people who are united and committed to
impart proven kingdom success principles
that will show each mentee how to connect
their passions, dreams, frustrations
and challenges with their obvious and
hidden gifts and talents. They are thereby
empowered to consistently build bridges of
success in every area of their lives so they
can influence and impact their environment,
community, city, state, country, world
Interview by Equanimity
Butterfly Effect
Mentoring Institute
Dedicated to Mentoring the Youth
T
he Butterfly Effect Mentoring Institute (BEMI) is the brainchild of one
visionary, Nicole Miller. She did not just have a dream; she made her
dream into reality. You could say that Miller is BEMI. Miller's vision
and mission is to pioneer a strategic outreach program of mentorship. Her
organization equips, enables and empowers the next generation to become
successful in every area of their lives. When you sit down with Miller, you're likely
to be mentored in some way. If not, you're likely to be inspired by her energy and
welcoming tone. When you leave her, you will carry memories of her depiction
of the chosen, special generation with you. We attended her enrollment kickoff
event in January and had an opportunity to talk to Miller and her staff after
the event.
