The Girls’ Girl Club (GGC) was established in November 2024 by Co-Madam Presidents, Kiera Liu and Janet Yee. On February 18, 2025, they hosted their first general meeting discussing the club’s purpose, future plans, and significance. The Argo reporter, Kayla Lavecchia, had the privilege of interviewing Kiera to highlight this up and coming club. 

What is Girls’ Girl Club? 

Liu: “It’s a club about women’s empowerment. It is a community of feminists that go to Stockton but are trying new things beyond Stockton’s campus, such as staying informed about current issues and having a sense of community beyond just [what’s] on campus. You don’t have to be a girl to be a girls girl.”

What made you want to start the club? 

Liu: “Janet and I started Girls’ Girl because we both felt there was a disconnect with having a feminist club. We are both locals, so we know about current things happening, and wanted to bridge the gap between having a sense of community and meeting new people, and create a sense of hope. It mattered to us to have a community of feminists all together, where we have fun and create that environment. 

What kind of things do you do? 

Liu: “Arts and crafts, self defense class, going to local farms, thrifting. We want to do fun trips that can bring awareness to things happening on campus — an all in one. If you want to have fun and meet new people, this is the club for you.”

What are some of the plans for the club? 

Liu: “As a new club, it’s our goal to have more frequent meetings and more opportunities for people to make things. We will have themed things for the club. I’m hoping a lot of people will discover this club and find friendships through it.”

What does it mean to be a girls’ girl? 

Liu: “It’s more than just supporting other women. It’s recognizing when someone else needs help and going out of your way. I will help out other women in ways as small as fixing a tag sticking out on their clothes. Especially in terms of everything happening, we need something to enlist that kind of community. What we know now is what we know. Everything unprecedented is a precedent for us. Through all that, we want people to know they’re not alone. 

Why does it matter to have a club like this? 

Liu: “There was nothing else like it at Stockton. This club offers that chill environment of getting together with other people that support you and see you for the real you. I’m looking right now and people are meeting new people. This matters.”

How do you strive to be inclusive? 

Liu: “When we first started, many people thought it was only for girls, but we want to let people know you don’t have to be a girl to be a feminist. It’s inclusive to surround yourself with people who stand up for the mission that we have, not just girls but others who want to create an environment where people know they belong.”

Why should people join? 

Liu: “This is a low entry club to get involved in, we do things as small as a craft together or something as big as attending a feminist leadership conference, which we will be doing on March 30-31. It can even be as simple as having a good laugh. I don’t like to sit down and do nothing. I like to get out and do something. Me and Janet are both doers and love to try new things, like going thrifting together on February 21.”

The next general meeting will be March 25, following an Empowerment Boards Collaboration with Women’s Co. In addition, they have planned a self defense class with The Master of Arts in Criminal Justice (MACJ) for March 29, with several more events upcoming this semester.
