Today I went to She’s All That. It’s a 2-hour program that teaches you about women in black history. It was at Georgia State University in Atlanta. I went with my friend Kendall. She is my best friend. My Tia Ashley and Kendall’s mom took us. It was kind of a long drive.
When I walked in I saw a bunch of flags from around the world. I saw the Brazilian flag and the Italian flag.
We took some pictures in front of a pretty backdrop that was set up. I also saw lots of other girls and colorful balloons.
There were separate tables for girls that were different ages and we sat down to get right to work. There were bags with 3 puzzles on the tables with African American women on the puzzles. We had fun putting the puzzles together. They were sorta easy to do.
I colored a book with the alphabet and black women. That was like a scrapbook because I also decorated it with stickers. Kendall’s mom bought a journal, stickers, and some super sticky slime.
I learned about black women and girls that were actresses, musician, and lawyers. There were so many different girls that did so much! I couldn’t believe it! Some of my favorites that I learned about was Beyoncé and a girl that started her own lemonade business.
13-year-old Mikaila Ulmer got started selling her lemonade at the age of 4 when she found her grandmother's old recipe books. She was also stung by a bee twice. She became fascinated with bees and learned all about their importance to the ecosystem.

I want to be just like her and run my own Cafe when I grow up. It's nice to know that there are kid entrepreneurs.
