This past weekend The University of Minnesota hosted a workshop called ELECT HER, a program that encourages women to run-for and win for political office on their campuses and for government positions. The Women's Center at the U was nice enough to allow me to bring one of my SHE IS (a Project Footsteps program) girls to the workshop. A brave, beautiful, high school student named Nathel took advantage of this amazing opportunity and the two of us enjoyed an awesome day of learning.

Nathel's Reflection

"Going into the Elect Her workshop I was a bit nervous. All these women were very accomplish and confident, the things that they had achieved in their lives inspired me to take up a leadership role in my own life. I greatly enjoyed Senator Patricia Torres-Ray and hearing her story. All the adversity that she had to face reinforces that with the mentality that you have the ability to carry out the job well then you can accomplish it. I also enjoyed the food (lol) it was the healthiest lunch I've ever had at one of these functions. I would recommend Elect Her to my friends it was not only informative politically but also beneficial in women empowerment."

The day was full of workshops about stump speeches, networking and issues. The food was amazing and the women all very inspiring. A big shout out to Tasha Cole for being an amazing facilitator and to the awesome panel of leaders! Thank you, thank you, thank you to the Women's Center for giving us this opportunity and we hope this work continues until the genders are equally represented.

Women in leadership is important. These workshops are an amazing aspect of this journey towards equality. Support programs like these, encourage young women to participate more in politics and continue to educate yourself FOREVER.
