On the very first day, the only word to describe the morning was awkward. Everyone was trickling in one by one, just staring at each other with sleep still in our eyes. We didn’t start until minutes after the original time they told us to be there, which I didn’t mind at all. I was […]
My first week at Empowered is going really well I work with amazing people. I can say treehouse is a very interesting task and it has it moments to where you get frustrated but it gets exciting when you get to make your own stuff and do it on your own. I like working with […]
Honestly I really enjoyed meeting everyone here and starting treehouse. I think it’s cool to see what makes websites work. I enjoyed everyone starting to become friends with each other. I didn’t really like that dramatic episode that I had on the first day. I felt really bad for that. And I think the cold […]
My first week at Empowered has been good.Working on Treehouse is not always the best thing but once you start completing some of the prompts and questions you start to get the hang of it.The thing about Treehouse that i don’t like is that I always leave some type of punctuation out and my whole […]
I’m Jamia, and I think of myself as a relatively friendly person who’s extremely flexible in conversation and pretty confident in platonic relationships. Formalities out of the way, first day, even though I met and greeted one of the girls at the front door of the building, the silence in the cubical area of the […]
The most enjoyable part of Empowered thus far has not necessarily been one experience, rather the people who are part of the program.

Something I enjoyed was being able to talk about our progress on treehouse I also enjoyed how we are able to ask each other for help. Something I didn’t like was the length of some of the treehouse videos other than that everything was great. Learning treehouse has been an experience in the beginning it […]
My first week at Empowered. Well, first two days. I joined the Empowered group on Wednesday. So far, so good. Everyone is very kind and laid back. Treehouse is pretty boring, but not hard. Our leaders, all super nice, are also laid back and cool. I’m really enjoying our conference room chats. It helps us […]
Being a part of Empowered is definitely something that every minority teenage girl should take advantage of, not only is it a great experience, but it’s also an experience that will help you expand your academic and personal skills. Within a week it’ll push you to do better each and everyday, instead of staying in […]
My first week was amazing. I learn a lot of stuff. Usual i’m scared to take big risks. But coding is very fun and cool. This opportunity gives me an chance to explore the unknown. I was thought i didn’t have any options out there but music. I learn to be myself and it’s ok […]
