BUFFALO, NY — 40 young Black girls participated in a three-day military-inspired camp at Houghton College that taught them self-defense, confidence, and self-empowerment.
After heading to camp on Sunday the girls returned to their families on Wednesday with a brighter perspective on their futures.
7 News Reporter Jaurdyn Johnson spoke to the girls and their parents upon their return.
Tracey Adams, the mother of Miracle Bolton-Adams, emphasized how proud she is of her daughter for the leadership skills that won her an award.
"I know what she is capable of, but I do not think she knows what she is capable, but I am really, really proud of her,"
Miracle Bolton-Adams described her feelings after attending the camp.
"I'm going to be strong black, and beautiful. I am going to be a pediatric surgeon, and I'm going to be a millionaire."
The girls will continue their self-development through Zoom meetings with Duncan Kirkwood, the creator of the program, and even a workshop on Friday with Confident Girl Mentoring.
