The National Alumnae Association of Spelman College hosted the first annual "Uniquely You" summit for over 450 girls in the Delaware Valley and Philadelphia area. Over the course of the weekend-long conference the participants were able to receive valuable insights into developing self- esteem and self-worth, education, relationships, achieving full potential and beauty/health/wellness.
Through participation in the Summit girls will be:
1. EMPOWERED to celebrate their individuality, uniqueness, amd worth.
2. ENDOWED with a drive to achieve their biggest dreams and reach their full potential.
3. EQUIPPED with the motivation to overcome obstacles and fulfill their purpose in life.
As a panelist, I fielded questions from the young women and offered words of wisdom from my personal experiences and professional background. In addition to the lovely ladies from Spelman, the program was facilitated by Philadelphia's first lady Lisa Nutter, Pennsylvania Senator Vincent Hughes-pictured, Tina Wells, DJ Beverly Bond, DJ Deja Vu (from NYC 105.9), the one and only Sheryl Lee Ralph-Hughes -pictured- and the multi-talented Pauletta Washington-pictured- (acclaimed pianist and co-founder of the Pauletta and Denzel Washington Family Gifted Scholarship Fund). I had so much fun with all of my Queens In Training and DIVAs, and I hope you all benefitted as much as I did!
Young girls are our most precious resource and we must protect them at all cost!
In His service...
