See your way through.
Hey there!
I’m Stephanie, proud mom of a young Black Girl and huge fan of this organization! First let me start by saying, Black Girls Rock! Congratulations on being part of an initiative that will help shape your future. Your adult self will look back on these moments, and be proud of the choices you are making. And so am I!
Along your journey, you are going to run into many obstacles, some of which will be rooted in diversity challenges. A lesson that I have learned, sometimes the hard way, is to not let people change who you are. You are enough! You deserve to be in that room! You are bold enough to see your way through! And as a beautiful Black Girl, you have millions of women cheering you on. The road ahead will be filled with beautiful moments, and sad ones too. Through it all, remain true to yourself. Allow your inner voice, whether it’s quiet and reserved, or loud and boisterous, to be your guide.
I am proud of you. I am encouraging you. I support you. You’ve got this young Queen!
Always in your corner,
Stephanie
