| It Was A Great Time! |
| Special thanks to Dr. Ryan Ross and Jhasmyne Cooper for sacrificing their time on a Friday evening to show up and emcee our evening showing the Black Girls Matter and the Black Community Matters. You are fabulous in word and deed. Some people talk about it, other people do. Thank you for doing it. This was a slice of the joy from our participants after the show. |
 After months of learning and growing together this group of young people came together from schools across Denver to showcase and celebrate Black Beauty, Black Genius, and Black Love. Our proudest moments came when some of our young ladies shared their dreams and some of them said that they dream of working with us at AAYLS. The community and love that was shared and displayed among all that were involved was truly inspiring and uplifting. |  Yes, we were tired but it was worth all the hard work, long days, and nights just to see the joy and hear them say how amazing they felt about themselves and their accomplishments. We got to be a part of transformations and that makes it all worthwhile. See you at the Summit. Wish us well on our Sisterhood Leadership Journey to Uganda. |
| Thank you to all those who supported our community and showed up to inspire the next generation. |

Quotes: “The day went by so fast.”I had more questions and more to say.”Is this available to all schools?” |  They were so focused on being great teammates and learning how to use their voice.
