- Learn to respect yourself and others. Treat others the way you want to be treated.
- Be responsible for your actions. Take ownership of your decisions and don't blame others for your mistakes.
- Be ambitious and never give up on your dreams. Believe in yourself and your ability to achieve anything you set your mind to.
li>Be honest and have integrity. Stand up for what's right, even when it's difficult.

- Being confident in who you are. Don't let others define you or tell you what you can or cannot do.
- Setting high expectations for yourself. Don't settle for mediocrity and strive for excellence in all that you do.
- Being responsible for your own choices. Make wise decisions that will benefit you in the long run.
- Being a role model for other girls. Show others what it means to be a strong, intelligent, and compassionate Black woman.
The Importance of Mentorship and Role Models

By providing relatable and actionable advice, they help to bridge the gap between aspiration and achievement. They also emphasize the importance of having positive role models who can provide guidance, support, and encouragement.
Mentors and role models play a crucial role in the lives of Black boys and girls. They can help them to develop their self-esteem, set goals, and overcome obstacles. They can also provide a sense of belonging and connection, which is essential for their overall well-being.
