14 6th-8th grade girls at the Umana school met for the third time on Thursday, February 11th to talk with two successful professional and business women from the greater Boston community about their lives and careers. This time, the women who volunteered to speak with the girls were Susan Hammond, a freelance business woman, and new Boston City Councilor-at-Large Ayanna Pressley, the first woman to color to be elected to the city council.
The women had some great advice for the Umana girls: Ms. Pressley encouraged the girls to try out internships in order to find out their likes and dislikes, and Ms. Hammond pointed out that you should always be open to meeting new people and trying new things because you never know where opportunity will show up.
The speaker series has been a great hit, and a wonderful opportunity for our girls at the Umana! If you would like to volunteer to come in and speak to SCORES kids about their futures and their careers, please contact astrong@americascores.org.
