Between December 7th and December 11th, 88 girls from all twenty-two regions in Madagascar gathered in Antananarivo for Youth First’s annual National Girls Leadership Summit. I attended as an advisor for the students. Words cannot express the way I felt and how grateful I was to be present with all Malagasy cultures mixed colorfully while collaborating together. I felt overjoyed, heartbroken, outraged and proud all at once. You’ll understand why after you read this. Hopefully
