empowerment...

i had the pleasure of taking part in an entrepreneurial workshop for high school girls so they could learn about different career opportunities. in good company workplaces hosted the event and gathered together 5 of their community members, including myself, to talk about their own company and how they decided to become an entrepreneur. we were all from varied backgrounds with a variety of businesses...i think i may have learned as much as the girls! it's always inspiring to be in a room with a group of smart, talented women who have decided to take that leap and try it on their own. the girls are part of the step up women's network teen empowerment program, working with teen girls from underserved communities. suwn provides a variety of services and programs for these teens as well as social networking & professional mentorship for women.
