I was given the pleasure of meeting Judge Glenda Hatchett this week at the SCLC Youth Leadership Development Workshop. Judget Hatchett is as every strong willed lady as we see her on her daytime court program. She's small in statue but full of fight and determination. This is the determination she strived to invoke on the 300 high school students across the metro in achieving their dreams. She emphasized that no dream is unattainable but to believe in yourself, surround your self with people who want the same goals as you and hold each other accountable to those dreams. That was powerful! All of her points of inspiration are outlined in her new book, "Dare To Take Charge - How to Live Your Life on Purpose".During the leadership conference, students participated in workshops such as: Cyber Bullying/Sexting; Homelessness; Social Networking Pros and Cons; Teenage Relationships; The Importance of Education; and Violence in the Home.
Guest speaker, Clifton Taulbert speaks about his "Ice House Project" and encourages over 300 youth the importance of role models and setting goals.
Brandon Edington leades a workshop on the "Importance of Education". 
Floyd Wiggins leads the discussion group "Violence in the Home". 
Panel discussion - attendees are: Joyce Brown, Rachel Ciodas, Captain Cynthia Lenley, Eleanor Lisbon, MD, Jackie Buycks, Dr. Jacob Landie, DDS, Dr. Daniel Lisbon, Carles Miller, and Attorney Deryl Wynn
