Phase II Neighborhood After School & Child Development Center

Helping the next generation navigate the digital world safely is super important work.

I got to teach elementary students about Social Media Safety at the Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. Annual Youth Symposium—and I was really impressed.😊🔎

These young ladies didn't just listen—they got involved.🌐
They shared great ideas on what to do and what not to do on social media, showed they knew about online risks, and understood more about protecting their digital identity.
💻That's why early education is so key. When we give kids the right info and tools, we're not just teaching safety—we're building confidence, responsibility, and digital leadership.

So thankful for groups like Iota Sigma Alumnae Chapter of
Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. that keep investing in our youth in awesome, forward-thinking ways.
