Indianapolis · Youth Mentorship

Becoming is not a destination. It’s a journey.

We inspire teens to dream more and want more — through mentors, real-world exposure, and the power of networking.

“How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.”

— Anne Frank
Meet the Founder

Hi, I'm Miriam — but everyone calls me MiMi.

Miriam "MiMi", founder of Belinda Becoming
Miriam "MiMi" — Founder, Belinda Becoming

Belinda Becoming was born out of loss. Losing my mother young opened something in me — a heart for girls who need someone in their corner.

I built this to be the thing I needed most at that age: one person who believed in me before I believed in myself.

Becoming is never a destination. It's a journey.
The Program

A summer for teens ready to do the work.

Small by design. Real mentors, mini shadow experiences, and personal development that shows teens what's possible.

Teens gathered outdoors for a group activity
  • Real Mentors

    Professionals who share their story, craft, and contacts.

  • Work-Shadow Days

    Step inside careers instead of just reading about them.

  • Character & Growth

    Self-worth, communication, ambition — the inner work.

  • The Power of Who

    Networking taught early. Access is a skill.

Two Programs, One Journey

How the two programs fit together.

One journey, two stages. Girls build their foundation first, then get ready for the room — and stay with us as they grow.

Middle School

Becoming Foundations

  • Identity and story
  • Confidence
  • Communication
  • Basic etiquette
  • Vision boards

High School

Becoming Ready

We keep what teens pay for events and activities as low as possible. The shop is how we cover the rest — every order goes back into the programs and the youth.
