Young Women Recognize Special Role Models

Last Friday was one of my favorite community events, Phenomenal Women at the New Outlook Teen Center in Exeter, NH. It’s so great seeing all the girls as they complete another school year, to learn about all the great things they’ve done through the year.

What makes this event so special? Each girl has the opportunity to honor a woman in their life, someone that has made a real difference in being a role model, being their to support them when they needed help,being there to share the ups and downs of life as a teenager.

The night always begins with reading the poem, Phenomenal Woman by Maya Angelou. and I’ll just share the very end of the poem here. What I really like is that by recognizing someone else, the girls learn to recognize the strength in themselves.

‘Cause I’m a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That’s me.
