What does it mean to be powerful? How do we harness our power?
Powerful. An interesting word. As a woman in my late 20’s, some days I feel like I’m supposed to have it all figured out. The reality is that I have a long way to go- and that’s not a bad thing. The beauty is in the journey. My recent conversation with Soledad O’Brien was a timely reminder that I’m right where I’m supposed to be. The media maven was in Atlanta hosting an Enrichment Conference as part of her PowHERful Foundation. The conference was a free, daylong empowerment summit for young women aged 14 to 23 years old. High school and college-aged girls were given a chance to explore different career options, receive useful guidance and advice, and interact with successful professionals. A panel featuring industry experts presented curriculum in areas like STEM, blueprints for success, interning, health, and more.
Here is how the “experts” define powerful…
