This past weekend, we gathered for an unforgettable day of empowerment, creativity, and pure girl power at the Wear Her Power event! Hosted by Hey Gul and Obodo Serendipity Books, this event brought together girls, families, and local businesses for an inspiring experience focused on confidence and self-expression.
A Runway of Confidence
The highlight of the day? The mini fashion show! Girls strutted down the runway, each step radiating confidence, self-love, and strength. This wasn’t just about the clothes—it was about owning your power and celebrating what makes each girl unique. From bold poses to joyful twirls, every girl proved that confidence is the best thing you can wear!
Creativity in Action: The Power Headband Workshop
At the HeyGul Power Headband Workshop, attendees designed their own custom power headbands, transforming a simple accessory into a personal statement of strength. Girls picked colors, textures, and embellishments that represented their personality, leaving with a wearable reminder that they are strong, capable, and unstoppable.
We had the honor of welcoming local authors who shared powerful stories that sparked imagination and self-worth. From books celebrating diversity and resilience to banned books that challenge the status quo, each storytime session encouraged girls to embrace their unique identities. A special thank you to Obodo Serendipity Books for gifting each guest a copy of Nali’s Inner Crown by Willona Y. Amoakoh, reinforcing the message of confidence and self-love.
Affirmations That Inspire
To wrap up the event, girls and families participated in creating words of affirmation, crafting handwritten notes filled with positivity, strength, and encouragement. These words will serve as daily reminders that confidence starts from within.


A Community That Empowers
The Wear Her Power event was more than just a gathering—it was a movement. A movement to instill confidence in young girls, to create safe spaces for self-expression, and to remind every girl that she is worthy, powerful, and capable of greatness.
Thank you to everyone who attended, participated, and supported this event. The energy, joy, and inspiration felt throughout the day is proof that when girls lift each other up, magic happens.
Until next time—keep wearing your power!
