BLAC to host teen mentoring event for girls Nov. 19

DeKALB – Building Leaders Advocating for Change will host a Ladies of Elegance Tea on the Terrace event beginning at noon Saturday at the Hopkins Park Terrace Room, 1403 Sycamore Road.

Check-in begins at 11:30 a.m.

The event aims to mentor young women to become role models by teaching proper tea etiquette and discussing topics such as self-worth and confidence. Young women are matched with inspiring women in DeKalb. The event also will dive into how social media plays a role in youth’s perception of beauty and how they see themselves in this growing tech society.

The program costs $90, including $45 for the mentor and $45 for the mentee. The mentor is asked to cover the cost for the mentee they are paired with. The entrance charge includes the tea, brunch and activities for the afternoon.
