" Wisdom and courage are the two things I believe will help me make change. Through the Millennium Fellowship I believe I will be able to perfect these skills because while giving a voice to the girls, culture still remains an important part of their being and I will have to gain courage to help them at the same time having the wisdom to be mindful of our culture.
