THE “TALKS – IDENTIFYING THE MIRROR IN ME™” 
The primary purpose of the “The TALKS – identifying the Mirror in YOU™”, workshops is to start young ladies on a path of self awareness and self worth by starting with the inside.  Young ladies self doubt can lead to self hate, bullying, negative behaviors and at worst violence.  The sessions consist of role play, hands on activities, listening and responding and round table discussions.  The young ladies walk away with knowing what makes them who they are and accepting what they individually contribute to society, their community and themselves.  This catapults each young lady towards their individual greatness.
