YOUTH SPOTLIGHT - LETTER TO MY LADIES
BY GIANNICA CICERO GARCIA, AGE 14
G irl,
give it your all. Never give up, and never look back
I n this world nothing is ever good enough. But you are not here
to please everyone
R esilience, strength, power, confidence, and hard-work, you
better know your name
L ife is hard, especially when you don’t know who you are
E ven when things get a little rough, still you will rise
M ind what you think, mind what you see, take that into
consideration and growth you will see
P ower is what you have just feel it in your soul
O nce in awhile make yourself a priority, you are in control
W omen do not obey the rules because if we do we'll miss all of
the fun
E motions need to be as educated as our intellect. It is
important to know how to feel, how to let life in just so, it can touch
you
R emember who you are, and never forget. Don’t lose yourself
trying to please everyone
M y happiness, your happiness both hold great weight and value
E very woman is both hellfire & holy water the flavor you taste
depends on how you treat her
N ever be afraid to spread your wings and fly
T he woman you are becoming will be your greatest surprise. Love
you and choose you, always. Beautiful beautiful queen.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S MESSAGE
The
leaves are beginning to descend, the night air is more crisp - Fall is
on the horizon. This season reminds me of the many changes we have been
enduring in the past few months and how we must continue to weather
these changes in our work, home and personal life. Finding connection
and direction in times where it seems like everything is changing has
proven to be a challenge for most people and organizations around the
world. So please, use this moment to take a deep breath, and to
remember, we are all in this together.
As a community I urge everyone to support the country and your local
community by exercising your right to vote and to ensure that you are
counted in the Census. The small actions will make an impact on us for
the next few years to come as time is running out, please refer to the
resources in this edition of the newsletter to take immediate action if
you haven’t already. You count, so please be counted and make your voice
heard in the November election.
We are happy to share some exciting upcoming events with you that your
entire family can participate in. Some of these events will serve as a
reminder for you to make it a priority to take care of your physical and
mental wellbeing. I hope you can use this edition as a tool to connect,
recharge, and have a few safe events to look forward to.
Stay strong and in good spirit.

RUTH BADER
GINSBURG - A LIFE THAT EXEMPLIFIES INTERNATIONAL DAY OF THE GIRL
![](http://www.sesameflyers.org/newsletter/october2020/msruth.png)
We celebrate
the life of an honorable leader of justice, the late, great Ruth Bader
Ginsburg, March 15, 1933 - September 18, 2020. She fought countless
battles to ensure that women had a seat at the table and spent half a
century on wining cases that eliminated discrimination in healthcare,
the workforce, voter rights and so many others. You cannot replace a
woman like Ms. Ginsburg, but we can make sure her legacy lives on.
Our mission
to provide our youth with opportunities where they will gain skills that
will prepare them for the challenges yet to come and like Ms. Ginsburg
we want to make sure that the children of the future have the tools they
need to make this world a fairer and just place. October 11th was
International Day of The Girl, a day that exists to recognize girls'
rights and the unique challenges girls face all over the world. Ruth
Bader Ginsburg’s life gives such relevance to days such as this.
International Day of The Girl is meant to promote the empowerment of
young girls everywhere, while also advocating for the attainment of
their basic human rights, like education and bodily autonomy.

BREONNA
TAYLOR
![](http://www.sesameflyers.org/newsletter/october2020/youth.png)
For far too
long our young kids are forced to come to terms with their reality of
being black in America. We say the name Breonna Taylor and the names of
the many unarmed black people killed by the police. We stand in
solidarity with the organizations fighting for our lives and freedoms
for all black people and people of color. We will continue to challenge
white supremacy and demand justice for those wrongfully killed by the
law because being silent isn’t an option and our youth need to see a new
world with a bright and safe future future ahead of them.
