Waco Chapter partnered with Bledsoe Miller Recreation Center to present a one day conference for girls focusing on career goals, health/hygiene and fitness.
The Beauty Industry was used a platform to introduce girls to careers in hairstyling, salon ownership, and jobs focusing on the business aspect of manufacturing and marketing of beauty products. Presenters were Tyrone Campbell (hairsytlist), Mia Moody, Ph.D. (writer), Terri Woods-Campbell, MD (physician), Vashon Sutherland (engineer), Josette Ayres (marketing), and Connie Powell, JD (lawyer).
The Health/Hygiene workshop focused on two areas, which were Glitter Germs Experiment and Emergency Pack it up and Travel Kit. The Glitter and Germs activity focused on the spread of germs from one person to another and how hand washing reduces the spread of germs.
The Emergency Pack it up and Travel Kit activity was designed to help girls focus on what are the important items to pack when there is a dire emergency evacuation in their community. Basis of this activity was lessons learned from hurrican Katrina.
Links Felica Coleman and Connie Powell facilitated this activity.
A Zumba activity was conducted by Link Sonya Todd. This activity focused on how exercise can be fun and healthy.
