Testimonials

Malayshia M.
Going to Girl Empowerment day has benefited me a lot. Not only did I attend that day, but others. Meeting other people in my age group helped me to speak out and make the best out of everything I do. Mrs. Aiken started this organization out of her own personal experience to help young people in the community so they can go on the right path and that's what I call a true role model. I loved everything about the camp and the people I have been around.

Being a part of the Girl Empowerment Day has not only taught me a lot about others, but has also taught me a lot about myself. As a college student, I am learning that there are people who will not believe in you or your dreams, but I have learned throughout the Girl Empowerment Day that as young women, it is important to love yourself first and never let the opinion of others determine your success. With the power of prayer and a lot of self-confidence and determination, I am able to push myself forward and remain humble towards my dreams. As women, we must encourage and lift each other up because that is all a person needs in order to make the next move to reach their success. The Girl Empowerment Day has been a blessing in my life so now I am able to spread words of encouragement and blessings to others and I encourage you all to do the same.
