WNBA fans, Valerie Still is looking for GWAs (Girls With Attitudes). "Sisters" who want to make a positive difference, have dreams and need positive reinforcement. Starting today, WNBA..com will have a space for you. You don’t have to be an athlete or top scholar but everyone knows that the girls who participate are the bomb. It doesn’t matter what color you are, how much money you have or if you are prettier than Alicia Keys. You do have to be female between the ages of 8-22.

We know how difficult today’s world is and how important it is for you to be able to talk about the issues you face everyday. "Where’s My Girls At?" will give you the opportunity to ask questions you find difficult to talk about…are you feeling unpretty or do you have a 911? Valerie and her team of experts will give advice about real problems. You can submit your questions about whatever is on your mind. No question or issue is whack. No topic is "off-limits." The best part is you don’t have to give your name unless you want to. This won’t be your mamma telling you what to do…no one will have to ask, "Why you all in my grill?" So, we can just chill.

Valerie, with her P.H.T. degree in Hanging Tough from the University of Hard Knocks (U of HK), and her team of experts will give advice about real problems, taken from questions submitted by you. Her advice team consists of 16-year-old Gabrielle, 16-year-old Elizabeth, 20-year-old Tiff, and 18-year-old Alicia. If a question requires some professional advice, Valerie will call on her "homies" (a group of specialists who deal specifically with that particular issue), but she’s pretty confident that most questions can be addressed by her team of experts. There are not many situations that will catch her off guard: remember she’s the "old lady of the league"…just ask Chamique.J But those who really know her would say she probably functions with the mentality of a 12 year old!!!!! Valerie will also be calling on her sisters from the WNBA. For each particular issue discussed she will find a WNBA player that has experienced a similar situation and can give advice on how they handled it. That way you get to know some of your favorite players in a more personal way.

Once a month, Valerie will have a live chat where you can discuss things that affect you. This will also give you a chance to make new friendships, meet others who are having the same uncertainties and questions as you and give you confidence to kick all scrubs to the curb.

Lastly, "Where’s My Girls At?" will provide the latest 411 (information) on the Valerie Still Foundation, Still Kids Improvement Program (SKIP) and the Val Gals, a female club that is involved in community activities and having fun. Females both young and old can get tips on how to stay involved in their communities. It’s time for you to step up and become a role model in your school and community.

It’s also time for girls to reach for the stars and come together and ask…"Where’s My Girls At?"
