Women Empowering Nations and Cantu Beauty Announce 2023 Girls Leading Our World (GLOW) Global Cohort
Tulsa,OK, April 18th - Women Empowering Nations (WEN), a nonprofit dedicated to advancing young women of color in the global economy, and Cantu Beauty, an award-winning textured hair care brand committed to empowering individuals, are proud to announce their 4th year of partnership to host the 2023 Girls Leading Our World (GLOW) Global Cohort. This virtual 10-week program beginning this month through July 2023 is designed to equip young women aged 17-23 with valuable skills to become the next generation of global change-makers.
The GLOW Global Cohort received applications from more than 2,500 aspiring young leaders from seven countries around the world — the United States, United Kingdom, South Africa, France, Germany, Ghana and Nigeria — and after a rigorous selection process, 50 young women were chosen to take part in this immersive experience. The program will cover topics such as culture and identity, public speaking, personal and professional branding, executive leadership, mental health and wellness, and build on the successes of the 2022 cohort.
“We are thrilled to be working with Cantu Beauty to create this opportunity for young women of color," said Carlisha Williams Bradley, Founder of Women Empowering Nations. "Our mission at WEN is to provide young women with the resources they need to become transformational leaders. We believe that everyone has something special to contribute to our global community and this program gives these talented participants the tools to do just that.”
At the conclusion of the program, members will have planned and organized a Global Day of Service where all of the GLOW cohort members complete their service initiatives on the same day in partnership with each other around the world — making it one of the most unique and impactful experiences available for young women today.
Cantu Beauty's product line – created specifically for diverse hair types – provides a perfect complement to WEN’s mission. “We are so excited to partner with Women Empowering Nations once again in this amazing effort to empower young women worldwide,” said Dametria Kinsley, Global VP Marketing of Cantu Beauty. “As a beauty brand rooted in empowering individuals, we believe that everyone should have access to resources that can help them realize their full potential. With our support of the GLOW Global Cohort, we hope to inspire young women to use their gifts to make a positive impact in their communities and beyond.”
