Local conference empowers, inspires young women
DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) — A local conference recently facilitated several speaking engagements and networking opportunities for women in Dayton.
The My Sister's Keeper Dayton Young Women's Conference happened Saturday morning at Engage High School, which located several leaders and public figures who spoke about their experiences with female empowerment, equity and social justice.
2 NEWS' KaJéza Hawkins was one such individual, as she attended the conference and led a panel discussion.
The conference also featured state representative Desiree Tims, Montgomery County judge Angelina Jackson and entrepreneur Tae Winston.
Conference organizers, such as Dr. Stacy Worley, director of the MBK (My Brother's Keeper) & MSK Dayton programs, say that the purpose behind the event is to empower and inspire the youth.
'That's the focus for our young ladies today,' Worley says. 'Having them empowered with very prestigious young ladies within the community, pouring back into them so they can go out and not be in silos anymore, but being able to speak and advocate for themselves.'
The My Brother's Keeper program will host a similar event on Saturday at Engage High School.
