Our last two sessions, we focused on
“Manners and Introductions,” with some amazing volunteers from the ETA Zeta Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc., and “Love is Love,” to celebrate Valentines Day and Black History Month! Our young ladies learned the importance of introducing themselves appropriately and always showing up at their best, as well as loving the beauty in all of our differences-from our beautiful skin to our culture and interest. Great work ladies!!❤️

I’m this session, Ms. Jkeyah Patterson (Program Coordinator of Parker Bennet Center) did an amazing activity, “SERVE, Service
and helping others is what we do!” Our Leading Ladies made cards for teachers and staff of Lost River, and created a sweet treat basket to simply say Thank you and Happy Holidays. The holidays are always a fun time at school, but also a very hectic time. Ms. Jkeyah created a fun and interactive activity to help our ladies focus on being of service to others. Thank you Ms. Jkeyah for your lesson today, and thank you for your help Ms. Callie! 💛

We love to give back, teaching our students to be a person for others and give to their community is a big part of our programs.

Session Two of, Mental Health Matters!” It’s so important for our young men and women to learn this early, to recognize when they are struggling, what that looks like and how to cope. It all starts with loving yourself, enjoying who you are and who you are becoming. Thank you LCSW, Ericka Church, intern and student Kiersten for this phenomenal lesson. Also thank you so much to our volunteers-the lovely Ms. Callie Harper and the wonderful women of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. HZ Chapter of WKU❤️
