We are so excited! Let the party begin!
Mikaela Sydney Smith, a 13-year-old student and aspiring actress, created this conference in an effort to make a difference and develop “a sisterhood of positivity” among other girls of color across the globe.
Our theme is “Activating Your Inner Magic” and it’s all about teaching girls of color how to find and appreciate the beauty in themselves while using their power and voices to help change the world. We will hold sessions that will feed into the hearts and minds of so many young girls of color: whether Black, mixed raced, Latino, Native American, Middle Eastern, Asian or Mexican.
There will be POWERFUL speakers, DELICIOUS food, AMAZING gift bags and a one-of-a-kind experience that you don’t want to miss! Church groups, Girl Scouts, Grandmoms taking care of their granddaughters, moms and daughters, come join us!
We have some SPECTACULAR speakers scheduled to truly EMPOWER girls of color. Speakers include:
Our SPOTLIGHT speaker, the dynamic Denene Millner, Author and Founder of MyBrownBaby.com, will KICK OFF the conference and grace the stage to deliver a message that will leave an indelible impression on the hearts and minds of the young ladies in attendance.
Our KEYNOTE speaker is the wonderful young entrepreneur Gabrielle Goodwin of GaBBYBOWS, along with her mother Rozalynn!
Rozalynn and Gabrielle created the first of its kind, double snap, double faced barrette hair accessory and the product has taken flight and landed Gabrielle in the NATIONAL spotlight! Gabby, the 2015 South Carolina Young Entrepreneur of the Year and company President and CEO tells other kids who she meets to try their best, “work hard, persevere and never give up on their dreams and desires to start their own businesses. Obstacles will be in your way and you’ll have to never give up in order to get through them.”
