What do youth want and need? How can we support them?

Young people deserve help finding their authentic self and the courage to walk with purpose, resilience and love. Real Talk Davis holds a safe space to share honest conversations, make meaningful connections, and seeds essential life skills to help pre-teen and teen girls* make choices that truly serve them. This is a space to bond with peers and mentors who value being real, together. Our aim is to offer a light in the darkness, and uncover some wisdom, joy and community amidst uncertain times. We hope you'll join us!

"It's amazing to be able to talk openly and not feel judged. I met new friends and got to hear their perspectives and experiences. I learned a lot about our culture and what it means to become a woman. I've taken away a lot of important things that will help me through the rest of my life. Thank you so much for creating this experience." - Real Talk Teen

"We are teaching girls how to have experiences that end in joy and honor, rather than regret, guilt, or shame. Youth need to understand what joy and regret really look like for them. We need to 'reflect and revise' what really matters. This work is so important!" - Charis Denison, youth advocate, founder of Prajna Consulting, featured in Peggy Orenstein's Girls & Sex, Advisor to Love Your Nature
