Millennium Fellowship Project: HER LENS: FOCUSED, FEARLESS, INFORMED
My project was about enlightening, educating and empowering young female students in high school about becoming who they want to be without boundaries not limits. Through presentations, activities and so on, I was able to impact knowledge that will not leave their minds in a long while.
