Philadelphia University held the 2012 Uniquely You Summit on september 15th and 16th. UNIQUELY YOU SUMMIT has been organized to provide inadequately served adolescent girls, that wrestle with distinct challenges during their formative years – including preoccupation with their physical growth and sexuality, difficulty perceiving long-range consequences of their actions and diminished self-esteem, in Philadelphia and across the nation with experiential dialogue and outreach that aids in eliminating the perception of isolation. By discovering the universality of their feelings and experiences, the barriers to becoming their best and most unique self are removed.
This year I was lucky enough to be a vendor for Moore! My table was stocked with flyers, brochures, even applications. My goal was to ignite the inner artist in these girls...and encourage them to apply to Moore of course.
There were a multitude of vendors at the summit. some were selling jewelry, clothes, food and much more. One vendor, called BrownGirlGifts, has cutest things from totes to pillows to onesies! Be sure to check them out for cute gifts!
Aside from vendors, there were workshops and seminars for the girls to take part in with special guests appearances by Bria Marie of Ethical Music, MC Lyte From BET and Beverly Bond of Black Girls Rock! Check out the Uniquely you website for more information.
