The Early Beaver Network is all about girls with their Glow Girls Confidence Workshop. Speaking with TV6 News, Alliyah Jackson, the founder and coordinator of the workshop, gave us some insight into the network and its upcoming event.
00:00The Early Beaver Network, a social enterprise, is a parents' village, says Aaliyah Jackson.
00:06Established in 2022, the network has driven its efforts in creating impact on young girls in the country.
00:13The Glow Girls Confidence Workshop, set to begin in August, aims to continue this mission.
00:19Glow Girls Confidence Camp is a five-day empowerment journey where we take the girls from baseline
00:28to hopefully becoming more confident young women.
00:32What we do is that we try to use a scientific take on how we can develop and bolster the girls' confidence.
00:41So we incorporate things like creative journaling, we incorporate the practice of gratitude, we incorporate public speaking.
00:51Rachel Pickering, former participant of the program, tells us of the notable impact it has had on her.
00:58It has impacted me greatly in a way that I'm able to do things that I have not been doing for a while.
01:03I'm able to speak, I have a lot of public speaking skills.
01:06It is still developing, but I'm still able to go in front of large crowds and do certain skits.
01:12I've done extempos, I've done many things in my local church.
01:15So why girls?
01:16There's like so many messages that they're being targeted with.
01:19And now because of social media, you know, it's amplified, it's everywhere, right?
01:24And because of that, you know, we really want to be intentional about how we go about safeguarding, developing these girls' identity, their self-esteem.
01:35So even in the face of all of these messages, they have a very clear sense of self, you know, in terms of how they respond to it.
01:43With speakers and coaches from different industries, the five-day workshop, priced at $695, begins on the 5th of August and ends on the 11th.
