Las Luchadoras de GBLA brought together over 40 girls from our surrounding communities. All individual members of GBLA gave their full support and effort to students in order for them to attend the women’s empowerment conference. It was a team effort to give students, 2 guest speakers, and our entertainment services a special event that was in a intimate and bonding environment. We provided fun activities such as Zumba, girls had the confidence to dance with new people and get into the rhythm.

Our community really reflected on our guest speakers, Ms. Figueroa and Ms. Jimenez both gave life changing speeches. They taught all of the students we have the potential to speak up for ourselves and be brave to try new things that'll give us an opportunity to change our lifestyles. No matter your ethnicity or where you come from everyone has a chance to do whatever they dream of.
After this empowerment conference, girls in our community have the confidence to participate in events that involve bonding with other people. Students ranging from 15-18 years old had an equal experience and got to learn more about their surroundings. Our school environment has changed because of the women's empowerment conference. Our students are comfortable meeting and bonding with their peers. The conference was able to help girls meet new people and get to know more about themselves. Everyone had a great experience and is happy to have attended the conference hosted by Las Luchadoras de GBLA. We are glad to help young girls and ourselves find their own confidence and voice. |
