Girlhood: Remember When? - Diva Kimberly C. Gaines

Our young sisters go through so much but they are equally as resilient! So today I dedicate this show to them. Their hopes, and dreams, their worries and struggles.

Though I had a few technical difficulties, this was a really great show. I was truly thankful for those folks that called in with their comments, observations and personal stories about "growing up girl"! Thank you! Remember before you shake your head or look down your nose a our young people remember we were that age once. The issues now may be a little bit tougher than what we dealt with (in some cases) but we have all been young. Keep that in mind and encourage rather than condemn. Thanks for listening!
