Everyday Inspirations: Tell Somebody!

 A Girl Talk Leader shares an inspiring experience from a recent Chapter Meeting.

Techdigit.com, 2013

The other day during a discussion at our Girl Talk meeting, one of the girls told one of our leaders that she had been cyber bullied. Someone had posted a mean status on her wall, and although she blocked the girl, other people continued to comment mean things. Our leader knew exactly what to do and brought the girls to our advisors- two different teachers at the school. The teachers then encouraged the girl and also had her write down all of the names of the people involved, even if they did not attend our school.

I wanted to share this inspiration to let all the middle school girls know that it is O.K. To come to a leader when something bad is happening to you or a friend. I know that it can be hard talking to a parent or a teacher, but luckily Girl Talk girls can go to a Leader first and they can go TOGETHER to determine what steps to take from there. We appreciate it SO much when you come to us because we are here to make a difference in your lives!

XOXO,

A Girl Talk Leader <3

Everyday Inspirations: To the Game We Go!

Advisor, Tawaiian Rhodes, writes today's Everyday Inspirations about her time at the Atlanta Hawks Game!

As an Advisor, I’m always looking of new ways to keep my girls motivated and inspired. By planning trips, meetings, community events, I just want them to be connected. While following Girl Talk online, I came across their post of having tickets to the Hawks game. I posted that I’d like the tickets for the game as a way to show teamwork to my girls. We got them the Friday before the game. It was such an amazing experience being in the Girl Talk office and meeting Haley and her awesome team.

 Our meeting was Monday, the night before the game. I was so excited to tell the girls about the game, but they were even more excited than I was! My daughter Amariah was so excited, by the time I was on the way to pick her up she had invited more of her friends!

We met up and had a wonderful time at the game filled with family and group members. For some, this was their first time ever attending a professional sporting event. My enjoyment came in watching the joy on their faces, the screams that came from the voices, and the warm hugs that said thank you. This trip was amazing for us and of course they are looking to do it all again. Thanks Again Girl Talk!
