IN TEENS’ WORDS
“I love how open everyone is. It’s a way to get closer to people in a way you don’t often have the opportunity to do. Grateful for the confidentiality, I can share stuff I wouldn’t be able to tell just anyone and it’s respected.“ - Real Talk Teen
"It's amazing to be able to talk openly and not feel judged. I met new friends and got to hear their perspectives and experiences. I learned a lot about our culture and what it means to become a woman. I've taken away a lot of important things that will help me through the rest of my life. Thank you so much for creating this experience." - Real Talk Teen
“From the first moment everyone was so kind and made me feel safe. This helped me find my voice and trust myself more. I feel less alone. I am so grateful!“ - Real Talk Teen
