Girl Power Rocks the Runway – Fashion, Music & Art Exhibit is not just a performance, it is an immersive educational and cultural experience rooted in the heart of Miami’s historic Overtown. Hosted in the Father Barry Complex, this dynamic showcase celebrates the creativity of at-promise girls while honoring the neighborhood’s enduring artistic and cultural legacy. Known as the “Harlem of the South,” Overtown has long been a gathering place for legendary musicians, artists, and civil rights leaders who inspired generations. By bringing Rocks the Runway to this iconic community, Girl Power links today’s youth to a powerful legacy of resilience, innovation, and pride. Every runway walk, music performance, and art display becomes a living tribute to Overtown’s role in shaping Miami’s cultural identity. The event goes beyond entertainment, it is a powerful teaching tool. Each runway look is designed as a story of empowerment, individuality, and history. Girls research cultural themes, reflect on their own journeys, and express themselves through fashion, music, and art. This process transforms the stage into a classroom, where lessons of confidence, creativity, and leadership are learned and lived, while students also gain hands-on workforce experience. Music plays a central role as well. The Girls Choir of Miami Trio performs live, carrying forward traditions of choral music that have always been at the heart of Overtown’s cultural heritage. Their voices weave together past and present, underscoring the importance of preserving history while creating new opportunities for the next generation. 

Girl Power Rocks the Runway is more than an event, it is a movement that uplifts at-promise girls, youth, families, and the community at large. By supporting this showcase, donors and partners are investing in a brighter future where young girls are empowered to stand tall, speak boldly, and carry forward the legacy of Overtown with pride.
