What Project Would A Laptop Help You With?

S.M.I.L.E.S (SistaFriends Motivating Individuals through Laughter by Encouraging them to SMILE) conducts philanthropic teachings to young adults on the importance of giving back. We work in high schools, junior high schools & also offer sessions for adults on the importance of smiling – despite past or current circumstances. Eventually, I would like to share S.M.I.L.E.S. worldwide. We also have plans to host a conference & expo geared solely for women in transition. The conference will offer workshops for women in the areas of personal and professional development.

How Would A Laptop Help You?

A laptop would be invaluable to us. We would use it for video conferencing and social media. It’s not always possible to get to a desktop computer with my busy schedule; but with a laptop I’d be able to quickly and easily reach more people on the go.
