Our Young Ladies

This past weekend, I had the awesome pleasure of attending the first inaugural “Wonderfully Made Girls Summit” created by Regina E. Coley, Founder/Executive Director of the Leading Ladies of Legacy, Inc. here in Atlanta, Georgia. 

The event was like no other I’ve attended in times past…  This summit focused on personal development and self worth for young girls and women ages 8 to 25.  The speakers were dynamic and discussed topics that provoked thought, calling the young ladies in attendance to ACTION.

The personalized presentations that each presenter gave impacted the young ladies on a “soul” level as this “class for life” had a spiritual twist.  Each presenter discussed the importance of having a relationship with God (or the individual’s belief system), knowing your value/worth, setting standards (friendships/intimate relationships), discovering their purpose and writing the vision (utilizing vision boards) for accomplishing their goals and visions.

“Our Young Ladies” need this type of real discussion.  In working with young girls, preteens, teenagers and young women, I’ve come to know that many of them are looking for places they can go to and talk about, receive information and support on issues and concerns that are “Big to Them” (i.e. Important to Them) without being judged or criticized… 

Creating a “safe haven” and having fundamental guidelines in place, helps to define and establish spiritual awareness within the individual…  Many young ladies (preteens/teens in particular) are in need of learning how to cultivate and use their “intuition.”  

I believe that teaching our young ladies” how to recognize, trust and use this inner voice as a guide, they’ll avoid or at least know how to deal with challenges that arise in their lives.  This inner knowing would also assist them with understanding the consequences of their actions (positive and negative), prompting them to make decisions that are sound and much healthier for them.   

I commend Regina and Leading Ladies of Legacy, Inc. for creating such a platform…. an interactive personal development program whose core priorities of “Character, Education, Leadership and Service” are the keys to “Our Young Ladies Future Success!”
