This month, our Simpson Center for Girls was buzzing with inspiration thanks to visits from two partners, Women in Sports & Events (WISE) and Benefit Cosmetics, who opened new worlds of possibility for our youth.
Women in Sports and Events (WISE) SF Bay Area brought together five accomplished board members—Fayne Samantha Cohen, M.A. (Bloom Energy); Erica Loh Jones (Oakland Girls Softball League); Tori Carras (UC Berkeley); Danielle Deike, M.A. (Bay Area Women’s Sports Initiative); and Becca Smith-Tan (Bay Area Host Committee)—for a dynamic career panel. Through their stories of perseverance, mentorship, and professional growth, our youth learned what it means to lead with confidence and purpose.
Benefit Cosmetics provided a behind-the-scenes look into the beauty industry, exploring careers in chemistry, product marketing, sales and more! High school participants also engaged in a hands-on brow-mapping workshop, a fun exercise where they could practice their artistry, precision, and self-expression. One student shared, “I feel so grateful for this experience. It helped me feel more in touch with my feminine side and confident in my natural beauty.”
From sports to beauty, these sessions highlighted the limitless paths available to our youth when they are supported by women who lead by example. A heartfelt thank you to WISE SF Bay Area and Benefit Cosmetics for investing your time, creativity, and wisdom in our future leaders!
