WHAT THE GIRLS ARE SAYING

"Leadership Academy impacted me by teaching me to be more open and to learn how to communicate and also made me want to talk more because I knew what I was talking about. Liberation Academy has also impacted me by making me feel comfortable with myself and helped me get out of my shell more. Liberation Academy has also made me take responsibility and just be more responsible in general. FYER Media has made me feel happy and feel more engaged in the program. I just love seeing me and my girls do our thing and have fun."
