Helping our youth find a path of self assurance and positive reinforcement is an important part of my life. I truly take to heart the African proverb "It takes a village to raise a child". Being a mentor provides the opportunity to change the course of someone's life for the better. I, along with Elise Counts (founder of Lovely You, a program to bolster the self esteem of young girls), organized a Jr. Cotillion to help encourage and motivate some special young ladies. It was an honor to have in attendance Mayor Sharon Briggs of Plainfield. Congratulations to all the lovely ladies of Lovely You.
