Girls Can! Media

The world's only all-girl travel writers' organization! 

Through exclusive interviews with such phenomenal women as Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Ruth Carter, and many others, the Merze Tate Explorers exposes content creators ages 12 to 25 to opportunities to interview leaders and explore new places as they inspire others through the media they create. In addition to our YouTube channel, the Explorers publish Girls Can! Magazine https://issuu.com/communityvoices.

The organization, founded in 2008, honors the legacy of Dr. Merze Tate. Dr. Tate, a Michigan native, was a world traveler, inventor, professor, and more. Our work in honor of Dr. Tate has led to the naming of Merze Tate College at Western Michigan University, a study room in honor of Tate in the St. Anne's College library at Oxford University, and a library named for Tate in her hometown of Blanchard, Michigan.

Alumni of the Explorers have become world travelers, studied abroad in college, and use media in their various careers.
