TDV Conference in Sacramento 7/14/10
Imagine working for a field at a young age and you think no one outside
your organization does it and they're your age. I was proven wrong when I
went to the Ending Violence Against Women/Teen Dating Violence conference on
7/14/10 in Sacramento. I met a bunch of teens that are fighting for the same
cause BOM is; stay tuned for our video! We were all talking about what
adults can do differently and what we as teens can do to build an
intergenerational partnership. It was amazing listening to all the people's
(teens and adults) telling their stories about why they do this work. People
laughed, cried, smiled, frowned and any other emotion that you can think of.
It was a wonderful bond that Mario and I shared with the other teens and
adults from all over California.
In a way it felt like summer camp (I kept saying the whole time). We
made a friendship and when it was time to leave, it hurt. I am SO glad to
have had this opportunity to meet great people all over and be joined for
the same reason.
I love working for BOM!
