Testimonials from the Hopkins Event.

My daughter was excited to learn we would be attending a Girls are Powerful event. She did not know anyone else there, but soon began to connect with other girls her age through all of the activities. Afterwards, she was so proud to show everyone her “Be Your Selfie” project and wears her bracelet proudly to school to show other girls. She is asking to go to another event to meet more friends and her younger sister is equally interested. Upon leaving, my daughter shared with me the entire drive home why she and her friends were all unique….and that was a great thing!” - Mary (Mom)

“What an amazing event! Our Girl Scout troop loved the activities and the moms did, too! What a fabulous resource for empowering girls and women!! We will definitely attend more Girls are Powerful workshops!!” - Erica (Mom and GS Troop leader)

“The Girls Are Powerful (Celebrate You) event was such a wonderful event I am so happy I was able to bring my daughter. she had lots of fun at the various stations set-up to not only inspire her but to empower her to be the best that she could be..after she gave me a really big hug and thanked me for bringing her and buying all the wonderful gifts they had available after. She already asked to go to the next event with a couple of her other friends. Thanks Shawntan and Team keep up the good work!” - Angela (Mom)
