What is important to me is me being heard or seen in my future.

All I care about is the future like what my life will be like, and the only way that I can be able to have my future Is that I also have to be thinking about my past and present including women who came before me, so I can stand out like they did using their methods.

As we near the close of Women’s History Month 2017, we have curated you  SEVERAL pieces from some pretty amazing guest bloggers. Who are they? They are all #EmpoweredYoungLadies who were asked the following questions:

What is important to you?

What is it like to be a girl in your world?

What is something you think Adults need to know about your world?

SIL Blog would like to extend a tremendous “THANK YOU” to these young ladies and their parents, in this case Dior’s grandmother, for sharing their message and lending their voices and words conversation and celebration of  Women’s History Month 2017.
