It's #womensequalityday. What does #femaleempowerment mean to you? We asked @thereallacey @jetg5 @officialkjb and @sarayublue. They answered: - Lift each other up. - Empower the next generation of women. - Build up girls. - Honesty. • • • #istepup #mentorship #mentorshipmatters #mentoring #girlpower #womenempowerment #womenwholead #womenwhowork #futureleaders #believeinyourself #laceychabert #carmelitajeter #womensempowerment (at Los Angeles, California)

Today's the day of the #inspirationawards with @stepupwomensnetwork. In honor of today's big event here's a peek at some of my favorite red carpet moments from years past. As a co-host of the big event, I interview all our celebrities about mentoring, what they've learned along their journey from the successes to the pitfalls and what advice they have for teen girls. Each year about 900 gather together to celebrate women making a positive impact and the teen girls who thrive within a variety of programs that Step Up offers. I'm so proud to be a member of this non-profit that supports, encourages and mentors girls towards becoming confident and empowered women no matter the path they pursue. We believe all girls should have the opportunity to fulfill their potential. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Share a positive message for girls today. • • • • • @itsjuliebowen @ashleyaubra @yarashahidi @alifedotowsky @sjmtheactress @leamichele @gabunion #Istepup #girlpower #womensupportingwomen #femaleempowerment #styleexpert #createyourhappy #styleinspo #livinginstyle #thehappynow #liveunscripted #wearwhatyoulove #styleover40 #mentoring #fridayfeeling (at Beverly Wilshire Hotel) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByI80KJnqdL/?igshid=4dt2osw24h4k
