Last week, I made the decision to temporarily close my business and volunteer my time, talents, and services to invest in something even bigger—our youth.
My children had the opportunity to participate in the FFWC Empowerment Institute, a unique program designed for a select group of students ages 9–13. Throughout the week, these young leaders learned valuable life skills including teamwork, entrepreneurship, etiquette, public speaking, leadership, and how to confidently defend their faith.
As an entrepreneur, it was especially rewarding to teach students about business ownership and help them operate their own marketplace. Watching them grow in confidence, character, and leadership in just one week was truly inspiring.
The future is bright, and I’m grateful to have played a small role in helping prepare the next generation of leaders.
Thank you to everyone who poured into these amazing young people. The seeds planted this week will continue to grow for years to come. ❤️
