The Girls Who Rule the World Program (GWRTW) was designed to enhance young girls’ development and provide a forum for them to express themselves. Our mission is to empower young girls, show them the importance of a positive self-image, and empower them with tools to innovate, lead, and serve. This is accomplished through educational enrichment, exposure, and mentoring. Our 2020 virtual session was hosted by Influencer and Motivational Speaker Mikki Taylor and other girl influencers. The day was filled with engaging and informative sessions, including Entrepreneurship, Financial Literacy, College Readiness, Health & Fitness, the Business of Beauty, and so much more. Miss Teen USA also inspired the girls. This was a life-changing event for our girls, with over a hundred young viewers.
