Registration is underway for “Empowering Tomorrow’s Women Today,” a free event aimed at educating, inspiring, and preparing young women to network, earn income, and become financially literate.
The event is sponsored by Skratch, a Dallas-based mobile platform that connects teens with paying gigs in their own neighborhoods. It will be from 2-4 p.m. Jan. 20 at the University of Texas at Dallas’ Blackstone LaunchPad, 2830 Retford Ave. in Richardson.
Panelists for the event will be Amber Griffin, international model and founder of the Model Prep program; Randi Rubinstein, speaker and author of The Parent Gap: Tools to Keep Your Cool, Stay Connected and Change Unhealthy Patterns; and Summer Pailet, collaborative managing partner at ID360inc, a people development firm. Janelle Brandon, social media anchor for WFAA/Channel 8’s Daybreak morning show in Dallas, will moderate the discussion.
Organizers are asking registrants to bring gift cards to donate to Genesis Women’s Shelter.
