Helping women & girls believe in their Power & Potential
I Choose to Win is a narrative-shifting, power-building and transformational 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in the Philadelphia area. We’re helping women and girls rise up from a defeated, deflated and diminished sense of self attributed to social injustices directly or indirectly caused by capitalism, racism, and sexism, to take their power back and be the change they wish to see in the world! We’ve built our programs to develop women and girls as leaders, while also forging a pathway toward economic independence.
Our approach is to shift mindsets, upgrade narratives, build a sense of personal power for women and girls to make positive choices and chart new paths in favor of victorious living – Becoming who they only dreamt they could one day become! In 2023, we served more than 575 participants over 18 events in the greater Philadelphia area and beyond. With more than 21 volunteers and 8 partner organizations, we are passionate about helping women and girls believe in the wild possibility that is them fully engaged with their life, realizing their potential to lead and own. We’re talking about leading themselves and their paths to personal fulfillment, AND owning their time, their choices and their businesses.
IDENTITY-BASED CHOICES
By partnering with women and girls on a journey of self-discovery, we help them better understand & factor in identity-based choices and decision-making. Our choices are reflections of how we identify ourselves.
LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
By promoting asset activation & positive visualization, we inspire hope and set a plan of action for women and girls to unleash their gifts to positively impact the world. Leadership development begins with personal development.
ECONOMIC INDEPENDENCE
By building a community of BIPOC women and girls who believe in the wild possibility of their futures, we capitalize on resource sharing on the path of entrepreneurship. We are positioning women for equity and ownership.

Testimonials
You were Amazing! Based on the line of women you spoke with after the discussion, your advice, guidance and input on the topic was fantastic! I especially enjoyed your passion and willingness to share that the journey isn't always easy, but one must follow their spirit."
For many months, I have felt inauthentic and not true to myself and something you shared about your life made me tick - and I decided at that moment I was going to finally stand up for myself. You made an impact in my life and I want to thank you for awakening/shaking up that part of me that needed to step up. - N. Girardot
"I recommend Melonie Butler and the I Choose To Win Team for retreats. Before the end of the first ice breaker, Melonie had the teens fully engaged. All sessions were very organized and relevant. The teenagers left with a better self image and tools to help them on their journey!" - G. Jones
Thank you so much. Putting my intentions out there into the atmosphere has helped give me even more laser-like focus. I appreciate what you are doing for folks like me. - A. Westfield
