Spoke to an amazing group of middle school girls last week about turning their passions into careers—and I left feeling so inspired by their drive, creativity, and clear visions for the future. This special school visit was in collaboration with @startlighthouse , a phenomenal partner in literacy advocacy. I’m incredibly grateful to have visited several of their vibrant Literacy Hubs across New York City throughout the year, each one filled with so much hope, joy, and possibility. As I head into my very last school visit as Miss New York tomorrow, I’m feeling deeply invigorated and endlessly thankful for the opportunity to pour into young minds and witness the brilliance they already carry. 💫📚👑 #MissNewYork #StartLighthouse #LiteracyAdvocate #PassionToPurpose #gratitude #missnewyorkorg #readtosucceed
