Girls Rule! News: 23 African American Young Ladies Enhance their Lives and Share An Elegant Dining Experience

Girls Rule! Equips Young Ladies with Tools for Success!
Etiquette Imperative Program enriches the lives of twenty-three young ladies! By Ladon Brumfield

On January 31, 2009 twenty-three young ladies, including three scholarship participants from Powell Elementary School (Chicago Public Schools) located in the South Shore community began participation in the Girls Rule! Etiquette Imperative Program winter session which was hosted by Martin Temple AME Zion Church.

Over a five week period of time, each young lady received etiquette coaching in the areas of visual poise, personal grooming and style, communication and social etiquette and table manners through fun interactive exercises in order that the newly learned information may become a replicable life skill.

Take a sneak peek at the classes!

Having successfully completed The Etiquette Imperative Program, all graduates shared an elegant dining experience at American Girl Place in Chicago's Water Tower.

What young ladies have to say about the program:

I loved the class today. I feel very special and learned how to walk with my head held high!

I liked talking with the girls in my group about the type of women we want to become when we are adults. That was fun.

I liked the skit about appropriate outfits and inappropriate outfits.

No one ever taught me how to walk like that before or
even explained what my walk says about me. Cool!
