“Look Back, Reach Back”
We are looking for one outstanding African-American teenage girl to win a 10 day vacation to Rome, Italy!
Here at BlackGirlTravel.com
we believe in giving back and inspiring others to achieve their
goals. We also believe in the importance of encouraging and supporting
our young female youth, through positive re-enforcement. As I look back
over my life, I am grateful for the number
of people that have reached out and inspired me to reach my personal
and professional dreams. Because of them I can now be a dream-weaver for
others. None of us accomplish goals in life on our own. As a way to
give thanks to those who have helped me, it is
now my turn to reach back, by opening up the world with an all-expense
paid trip to Italy, for one
amazing African-American teenage girl.
