For far too long, women, especially women of color - and their daughters - have been held back and marginalized by a society that undervalues both their contributions and their potential. Their limited opportunities are concerning and unjust. Furthermore, their own sense of self-esteem and self-worth is damaged from internalizing the negative messages that are so insidious and so prevalent in the media and in public discourse.

In this episode, we are joined by two extraordinary young women and their supportive mothers who are part of a ground-breaking program, called The Rhosebud Club or Rhoers Affiliates, a youth branch of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority Inc., designed to build strong, confident, capable young women who deserve a place at life's table.
