It’s amazing to see so much young talent, so much confidence. It’s such a strong program.
The couple spoke with tons of girls and then listened to three star students who’d prepared different speeches on their favorite inspirational women, discussing why it was important to become role models for women and why they must forget about all sorts of harmful stereotypes on gender.
