More than 170 girls who attended an Urban League conference in New Jersey's Hudson County Community College heard a motivational message designed to improve their esteem, self-confidence and ability to succeed:
Patricia Robinson, the Urban League of Hudson County's director of Education and Youth Development said the main purpose of the conference was to make sure teenage girls know about the many resources available to them. Each girl was given a hefty director of resources available to them as part of the conference packet.
"It's about empowerment. Empowerment to define yourself and to have access to the resources you need," said Robinson. She said she hoped participants would walk away inspired.
"You can be anything that you can dream of. Define yourself and believe in yourself," she said.
Reporter Amy Sarah Clark covered the event for the Jersey Journal.
