The JG conference (www.journeygirls.org)was held on Monday at the YMCA on Prior street. Can you believe that the facilities power was out in part of the building when we arrived. However, just as it looked like we would have to call it an early day, all hands on deck rallied together and pulled off a wonderful event.
The girls had a ball and learned a ton. Dr. Alduan Tartt (www.drtartt.com) told the girls all they needed to know about navigating through dating and still keeping their integrity, while making them laugh at the same time.
D'lor Salon & Spa (www.dlorsalonspa.com)came and educated the girls on how to "love their hair". Not to mention they performed 2 of the most miraculous make overs I have ever seen, putting daytime tv efforts to shame.
Pam Shackelford, reminded the girls why they we were worth waiting for and kept them on their toes by getting them to actually THINK about their futures.
And little miss ball of energy Raashanda Turner got the girls talking in small groups about some very serious topics such as depression and peer pressures.
I volunteered as did a few other female entrepreneur friends of mine. We are all better people for it.
Thanks to the Journey Girls Basic Training participants, us grown folks are too proud of you!
