Hi,

I just finished a workshop in the big ATL and I wanted to share this wonderful experience with you. The workshop, "You are a Precious Jewel" was hosted by Fresh Start for Women, Inc. Janice Pettigrew is the Founder and Executive Director of this non-profit organization. So, if you are in the Atlanta area, look her up. She's a great resource and just a delight to know. Their mission is to help rebuild self-esteem in women who have been victims of domestic violence.

"You are a Precious Jewel" was designed as a girls' empowerment program. Don't you just love it! I know I do. What a better way to stem the tide of domestic violence, than to provide information and resources for young women so that they may make healthy choices in their lives. You all are worth it.

The young women you see here in the picture were attendees of the workshop. As you can see, they are all precious jewels. I will be facilitating another workshop in September and we will be discussing teen relationship abuse. I look to see you there.

Much Love,
Camille

Hi Everyone,

I recently attended the Girls of Greatness Abstinence & Teen Pregnancy Prevention Conference in Atlanta. It was absolutely wonderful! There were over 500 girls and adults in attendance. This event is the brainchild of two extremely powerful girls' organizations, I Am B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L. and Diamond In The Rough Youth Development Program, Inc. Their primary purpose and mission is to educate young women and their parents on the real emotional, physical and spiritual consequences of pre-marital sex.

I am so excited to learn that Girls of Greatness is coming to Columbia, SC in October 2007. They have a lot of information, as well as fun stuff for you to enjoy. They may be coming to a city near you. Believe me when I tell you, you don't want to miss their conference. So visit their websites at http://www.iambeautiful.org/ and http://www.ditr.org/ for details.

Here is a picture of me along with my aunt, Margaret Freeman. She is the founder and executive director of The Hannah Angel Center. Her non-profit volunteer organization provides support, information, and resources to unwed young mothers and their infants. Visit her website at www.hannahangelcenter.org.

Until next time...
Camille
