“My daughter, Dreya, and I have attended a majority of the cooking classes and have enjoyed every second of each session. The sessions have had a huge impact on my daughter as she has become more con dent in herself overall. As a growing young girl, it is important to stress healthy eating. The sessions help me to reiterate the importance of healthy portions as well as healthy options. Dreya likes the opportunity to choose healthier options on her own and is more likely to eat them on a regular basis and incorporate them into our family meals. Dreya and I love that the recipes chosen are from all over the globe, this gives our family a chance to try different food we wouldn't have normally tried.” —Doneka Dillard
In 2021, our Media Girls program was made up of 24 girls, Daisy through Ambassador, who helped with nearly a dozen media interviews throughout the year. They also participated in monthly Zoom meetings where they met local media professionals and learned about what it’s like to work in different outlets within the media industry.
