Crystal Clark- Chatman Founder/executive director
Looking back over my life growing up in a single parent home with five other siblings, I can only thank God for the guidance and support system he has placed in my life.
As a young girl I suffered with low self –esteem and thought everybody was supposed to be my friend. Throughout my life I tried to find easy ways out instead of believing in God that he will see me through. Of course we all make poor decisions, but somewhere down that road, I found me.
Beautiful Spirited Women Girls Mentoring Program was designed and created by God himself.
“HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO THE BADDEST NONPROFIT IN THE WORLD.”
— LOVE, FOUNDER & EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR CRYSTAL CLARK-CHATMAN

Ms. Kylah Lassiter
(BSW Mentee)
“Being an BSW Mentee for Beautiful Spirited Women and a GirlPrenuer Honoree, has been one of the greatest honors. Becoming a part of BSW and Mrs. Crystal entering my life has made a huge impact on me. I’ve become more confident in myself and unapologetically me! I have gained strength and courage to stand out no matter what the newest trend is! BSW made me realize that beauty is inside and out. People can dress beautifully, talk nice, look pretty, but make sure to shine through yourself and not just a style or appearance. I really appreciate Mrs. Crystal because she is always encouraging me and supporting me through school, my business, and any other accomplishments. It is really nice to have someone always happy for you and pushing you forward because they see potential in you!
Ms. Lisa Long
(Parent)
“Being a BSW parent has been a tremendous experience for me. I have had the privilege to watch and volunteer alongside some of the most beautiful sweet spirited women. I watched my daughter flourish and build relationships, all the while learning and navigating new things in life's journey. The ladies of BSW exemplify every bit of what their name is and what it stands.”

We are a group of women diligently working to improve our conditions.
Beautiful Spirited Women (B.S.W), a non-profit dedicated to empowering and advocating for girls in low-income areas. B.S.W provides young women with a powerful platform to share their personal experiences with sex education, mental health and wellness, drug abuse, domestic violence, low self-esteem, bullying, and depression. The organization seeks to equip these girls with important life skills to advance them in their schools and workplaces.
B.S.W tackles difficult issues like poverty and teenage pregnancy by bringing in teenage mothers to talk to program participants and working with “Girl Preneurs”, teenagers who hold dreams of one day owning their own businesses.
Resulting directly from B.S.W’s work in local communities, Memphis has seen a 17.1% decrease in poverty, and a 50% decrease in teen pregnancies.
Since inception 14 years ago, B.S.W has spread to twelve different cities and states, regularly serving 25,000 - 50,000 constituents each year.
