“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.
