This past weekend, I had the honor of participating on a panel discussion on Empowering Self Confidence & Body Positivity for the 5th Annual G.I.R.L.S Can (girlscaninc) Youth Enrichment Summit 🎙️

My younger self always dreamed of creating more opportunities in my career to pour my heart into mentoring young girls. As a little girl, there were so many aspects of myself that ached for deeper guidance ; I can’t reverse the time to rescue Jessica in her youth during her prime years of development, but I can reach out and invest my time and energy into providing our young leaders of the next generation with the confidence instilled into them to be readily prepared for this world. There is no experience more fulfilling to me personally and profressionally, than being able to speak directly with the future and ensure they are primarily taught and reminded to never dim that remarkable, rate light and unique magic that lies within each and every single one of us. 

I spent the morning and afternoon with these young girls, the day prior to my birthday - and I wholeheartedly couldn’t fathom any other way I would have wanted to spend it. This was mutually healing and therapeutic for myself as I continue the journey of stitching my own inner child wounds. It’s a beautifully bright reminder of being the change we desire to see in the world by BEING it. 

Remind any young human being in your life that they are powerful and capable beyond comprehension, because they are indeed, the future. ✨
