Lyrical Vision Scholars recently completed an 8-week virtual coding series. Ariana, one of our Lyrical Vision Scholars, taught middle school girls from Central Park School for Children (CPSFC), the art of coding with Scratch. The girls also learned about innovative women in the tech field.
During our training we received an invitation to join StrongHER TogetHER in their Mentee to Mentors webinar with Chynna, Kristin and Yene. The three of them worked with the former first lady, Michelle Obama.
“In our time together, these 3 powerhouses were authentic and thoughtful in sharing wisdom about things like how situations that might’ve embarrassed them during grade school ended up being integral to their adulthood, managing social media, maneuvering through mean-girl situations, the reality of inequities for women and special insight for girls and women of color. We are so thankful to be a part of the journey from MENTEE to MENTOR with these amazing young women. They were honest about the hardships, but they inspired each of us to believe the difference is ours to make.” StrongHER TogetHER.
