"Ms. Jimme, I knew my mama's boyfriend was in her bed. . . . I just didn't know he was comin' to mine."

Every girl has a story if you care enough to listen. The passion for Jimmelynn Garland Rice's life-changing movement was born in a high school girls' restroom when her heart became wrecked watching girls making self-destructive choices.

Teens gravitated to this trusted, loving teacher to pour out their hearts and deepest, darkest secrets. Jimme loved girls through bullying, purging, pregnancy fears, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, addiction, and abusive relationships.
Jimme could not get these girls' stories out of her head or heart and became consumed with a passion to create a Safe Refuge where girls know that they are welcome, wanted, valued, and loved. These soul-stirring Letters from Jimme have provided hope, healing, and life-strategy-transforming the lives of thousands across the globe.w my mama's boyfriend was in her bed. . . .
