Our Girls Who Lead Youth Program had an amazing time at the 3rd Annual Black Women's Wellness Day! From professional group and individual photos to fun youth activities, it was a day filled with empowerment and connection. The girls participated in immersive, hands-on experiences with medical providers—learning from dentists and more! 🦷✨ They enjoyed a full day of fun, games, delicious food, and prizes, all while gaining valuable knowledge about health and wellness. We are so proud of these future leaders and the impact they will continue to make! 💪🏾🎉 #GirlsWhoLead #YouthEmpowerment #BlackWomensWellnessDay #FunAndEducation #KAPAAW #KFBWF
