Jenna Druck Foundation

This Saturday, 500 girls joined us in Getting REAL at the Jenna Druck Foundation's annual “Spirit of Leadership” Conference. It was one of the most amazing events of our lives! The girls were inspired by the legacy of an amazing young woman Jenna—a passionate leader, great friend and very loved daughter and sister.

The girls came from all over San Diego to confirm something major: That every young woman is ALREADY a leader, and that this world needs every girl to lead in her own way!

We really rocked our interactive keynote thanks to being able to marinate in the brilliance of young women and their advocates (there were more than 100 mentors and wonderful workshop facilitators there, too).

Audrey and I also met so many marvelous young women (hi, girls!). If we could live at that conference, we would! Every girl filled our hearts with her story, vision, goals and strong support for the other girls by her side. At the end of the conference dozens of girls took to the stage to say what they learned (like: to be themselves, to speak up, to not let anything hold them back, that girls and women can DO anything...!). They shared their goals (like: to help children around the world, to travel the world, to lead social change, to go to college, to gradate high school, to make healthy choices, to be anything they want to be...!).

And we know you will do it. And we know you will stay REAL. We love you all and we love the Jenna Druck Foundation--check them out and get involved!
