Who Run the World? GIRLS Event

"Who Run the World? GIRLS!" Is not just an event, it’s a movement dedicated to empowering young girls through self-confidence, self-love, and sisterhood.

As preteens and teens grow up, they face significant challenges regarding self-image, peer pressure, and confidence. Social media, unrealistic beauty standards, and external expectations can make it difficult for girls to love themselves for who they are. Many young girls struggle with self-doubt, comparing themselves to others, and finding their voice in the world. This event is designed to change that.

We are creating a safe, judgment-free space where girls can express themselves, bond with others, and learn valuable tools to build self-esteem and confidence. Through fun, interactive workshops, engaging discussions, and hands-on activities, each participant will leave feeling empowered, inspired, and celebrated for who they truly are.

What will they gain?

• A stronger sense of self-worth and confidence.
• Healthy self-love habits & self-care routines.
• A supportive community of like-minded girls.
• Inspiration from real role models and teen leaders.
• Fun, laughter, and friendships that last beyond the event.

Confidence, self-love, and leadership are journeys not destinations. This powerful panel brings together young women from diverse backgrounds to share their personal stories of overcoming self-doubt, embracing their individuality, and stepping into their power. Through open and honest conversations, our panelists will offer encouragement, proving that no one walks this path alone.

Attendees will gain valuable insights on how to build self-confidence, navigate challenges, and develop a strong sense of self-worth. The discussion will highlight the ups and downs of personal growth, reinforcing that self-belief is something that can be cultivated and strengthened over time.

Special Guests:
Ciera Smith, owner of ItsNaturallyUs – Leading our Teen Panel with wisdom on self-love and embracing natural beauty.
Danecha’ McKisset, owner of Browsations – Sharing expert skincare tips to help girls glow from the inside out.

This session will leave every girl feeling inspired, supported, and empowered to walk confidently in her own unique journey!

Affirmation & Self-Love Journaling

Each participant will receive a beautifully designed personal affirmation journal filled with thoughtful prompts that encourage self-reflection, gratitude, and positive thinking. Through guided journaling exercises, attendees will explore ways to replace self-doubt with affirmations that celebrate their worth, strengths, and aspirations. This session is designed to help young women develop a habit of self-love through the power of words and reflection.

Self-Care DIY Stations

A hands-on experience where attendees will get creative and craft their own self-care essentials! At these interactive stations, participants will:

• Mix & customize nourishing DIY face masks using natural ingredients.
• Create & scent their own bath salts for a relaxing at-home spa experience.
• Blend & pour personalized lip balms with delightful flavors.

These take-home self-care products will serve as a reminder to prioritize well-being, relaxation, and self-love.

Create Your Own Pizza

Food and fun collide as attendees get to be their own chefs! Each guest will have the opportunity to customize a personal pizza with a variety of fresh toppings, from classic favorites to adventurous flavors. This interactive station is all about creativity and enjoying a meal that’s made with love.

Dessert Station

A sweet treat experience featuring an array of indulgent desserts! From cupcakes and cookies to chocolate-covered fruits and more, the dessert station will be a delightful way for attendees to enjoy a moment of joy and celebration.

Giveaways & SWAG Bag
