Tonight was great and not only because I met Leymah Gbowee. It was great because I was able to bring 7 young woman from my classes. Watching them be inspired made every thing it takes to stand in #Room216 worth it! Thank you Denise and Sarah for helping me make that happen for those young women. They will never forget this and neither will I. Total Awesome Sauce kinda day!
