Girls Pursuing Success

Confident Today. Unstoppable Tomorrow.

Hello!

Welcome to GPS, where confidence meets calling! This digital empowerment collection cultivates deep self-worth, sharpens leadership skills, and builds the resilience girls ages 10–14 need to thrive. Our Virtual Mentorship Series and GPS Digital Masterclass Series ensures that no girl has to navigate her journey alone; here, she is seen, heard, and empowered to become the leader she was born to be.

FOUNDER AND CEO of Girls Pursuing Success

Hi! I’m Akiya Maston—a K-8 Principal, award-winning author, and Middle School Development Specialist with over 20 years of experience at the heart of education. My mission with GPS is simple yet transformative: to help girls ages 10–14 reclaim their uniqueness and lead with unshakable confidence. Having navigated thousands of student and family interactions, I founded GPS as a scalable movement to bridge the gap between home and school. I’m honored to be charting this path to success alongside our middle school girls with either our GPS Mentoring Series and our Digital Empowerment Series.
