COLUMBUS, Ind. — “It’s not easy to recognize that you’re the author of your own life. That’s a really big responsibility. But it is also full of possibility.”
These were the words of Skye Nicholson as co-emcee of Foundation For Youth’s annual “Great Girls, Wonderful Women” luncheon on Thursday. The occasion marked the banquet’s return to being in person after two years of going virtual amid the pandemic. The event was held at FFY’s Hope Avenue location and also livestreamed to schools so that students who could not attend were still able to watch.
The proceeds from the event, which is now in its eighth year, benefit the FFY Scholarship Fund and provide girls with the opportunity to participate in FFY programming even if registration fees pose a challenge to their families.
Nicholson, life coach at Souls’ Truth Coaching in Columbus, was co-emcee alongside Emily Wart, who is a sophomore in high school and FFY junior staff member. The two, along with keynote speaker Hanna Omar, encouraged audience members and young girls in particular to live out the event theme, which was “Write Your OWN Story.”
