Yesterday we didn’t just talk about emotions and leadership, we practiced them.
In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the purpose of the MLK Jr. Youth Summit, R.I.S.E. created space for girls and women to feel their emotions, understand what they mean, and lead with intention — leadership rooted in character, reflection, and responsibility. From honest check-ins to real conversations, the room was full of courage, transparency, and growth.
Grateful for everyone that participated in a session, and for the partners who trusted in this vision. This work is more than a session. It’s about building young ladies into leaders who are emotionally aware and grounded in who they are.
