In a powerful conversation that underscores the urgent need for gender equality, Dr. Dee Dawkins-Haigler welcomed dynamic leaders from the Henry County Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. to the Wake Up with Dee Morning Show on News & Talk 1380 WAOK. Guests Demeta Love Daniels, Chapter President; Saundra Golden, Chair of International Awareness & Involvement; and Brenda Winston, Chair of Charitable Partners, delved into the transformative impact of International Day of the Girl Child, a global observance dedicated to amplifying girls' rights, challenges, and potential.
The discussion, airing amid rising calls for girls' empowerment worldwide, highlighted the sorority's longstanding commitment to education, leadership, and social justice. Listeners tuned in as the panel shared inspiring stories of resilience, the barriers young girls face—from access to education to economic opportunities—and actionable ways communities can foster change. "This day isn't just a celebration; it's a call to invest in our girls as future architects of society," noted Daniels during the lively exchange.
