Moranda Hern and Kaylei Deakin...have you heard of these two young women? Are you aware of what they are up to?? Well...they are on a mission to provide support and inspiration to young females ages 13 to 18 who are from military families. They are in the process of planning a conference called the Sisterhood of the Traveling BDUs...their desire is for young women to unite, be inspired and to be leaders in their communities. Check out their Youtube video and their project info on dosomething.org. Props to NPR and All Thing Considered for covering this story and spreading the word!
I am unsure how much progress these two young ladies have made thus far, but I hope to make an attempt to contact them and determine whether or not there is any way to support them in their dream to make a difference. I will keep you updated.
You may wonder why I would be interested or drawn to this story...well for a couple reasons...
1)here are two young women wanting to uplift and inspire other young women who are possibly hurting
2)my friend, Chelle's daughter, Hilary, is currently in the military
3)teens doing something positive
