Queen Geniuses And Senator Parker Host 4th Annual Girls Empowerment Event

BROOKLYN, NY (3/7/16) – On Saturday, March 5, over 150 young girls between the ages of 14-18 joined State Senator Kevin Parker and Queen Geniuses President, Regine Roy, for the 4^th Annual Girls Empowerment Conference titled “Know Your Worth” at Medgar Evers College.  The event catered to young girls from across the five boroughs and had a full day of programming including panel and breakout sessions, live performances by local cultural organizations, and workshops all focusing on women empowerment. Councilwoman Laurie Cumbo served as the keynote speaker for this year’s event, along with other community leaders offering their services and words of encouragement to the young woman in attendance.

The purpose of this event was to ignite, inspire and support the next generation of young female leaders by encouraging them to think critically, communicate powerfully, and seek opportunities that empower them to take actions in pursuit of their passions. “I am amazed at how the brand Queen Geniuses brand has grown over the last four years, my goal now is to expand my programs into schools and organizations around New York City” said Ms. Roy.

 “I am excited to partner with Queen Genesis and Ms. Roy for the fourth year in a row as the work that she does is not only empowers young women, but has the multiplier effect of empowering communities and transforming generations.  For that, Queen Geniuses should be commended and I am proud to be a partner since the inception of the conference and plan on continuing to support their efforts in the years to come,” concluded the Brooklyn lawmaker.
