Akron’s young women are shaping our future

Akron’s next generation of leaders just proved how powerful it is when we actually listen to young women. At the Power, Love, and Justice Female Youth Symposium, local teens didn’t just attend—they designed the day around what matters to them: real talk, relatable mentors, and honest stories from women who’ve walked their path. Seeing leaders from their own neighborhoods made dreams feel possible and broke down barriers that too often hold girls back. When adults step back and make space for youth voices, we all win. How can we keep this momentum going in Akron? #News #Akron #YouthLeadership
