Miami Herald: Girl Power on Full Display at Mentorship Luncheon with Miami Police Officers

Girl and women power were on full display when girls and young women closed out their Teen Talk mentorship program with women police officers from the City of Miami and Miami-Dade police departments.

The etiquette luncheon, held May 18, 2023 at Red Rooster restaurant in Overtown, was the culmination of the first all-girl mentoring sessions of Teen Talk, the Miami mentoring program focused on the social and emotional well-being of teens and young adults. Both the mentees, girls and young women from Teen Talk and Girl Power Rocks, and the mentors, police officers from the City of Miami and Miami-Dade police departments, were all women.

The Miami Herald covered the luncheon, photographing students using the etiquette skills they learned in the program and receiving their medals from their mentors. Teen Talk founder Ruban Roberts credited Ebony with organizing the all-girl sessions.
