Hello! I’m Talia and I’ve been a SWEP participant for about three years now. Being in SWEP allows you certain privileges, such as Girls Group. I have been attending Girls Group for a few months now and I really like it. It is really fun and you get to connect with other girls that can relate to you and things that you are going through — this was shocking to me, because I used to have trouble connecting and associating with other girls. Girls Group is helping me learn how to be better at it.
Recently, the Girls Group went on a field trip to this play called “Girls Talk.” I had a lot of fun and related to a lot of the topics that the play talked about, I’m sure all the other girls did as well. After the play, we went out to lunch and that was the funnest part because we got to talk and get to know each other more. It was really nice to bond with the other girls. Just being around other girls that get you creates a really comfortable environment. To me, it is more like a sisterhood group than a girl’s group. Attending Girls Group is helping me and I am glad that I can get this opportunity from being in SWEP.
