Seeking new authors

The first and second editions of the 4 C’s (Civility, Community, Creativity and Climate Change) call on the youth to come up with new ideas and find innovative ways to push past their challenges.

Dr. Phifer-Derilhomme notes that the civility tour will also be an opportunity to network with young leaders who want opportunities to learn and share their thoughts on different aspects of the 4 C’s.

She elucidated that The 4 C’s present an opportunity for everyone but, more importantly, the young people to become change agents by using the 4Cs system to establish conversations among dynamic emerging issues and leadership strategies.

The first edition was dubbed Creating Change for Better Tomorrow, while the second edition leaned on The Road to Sustainable Change.

Dr. Phifer-Derilhomme discloses that the international tour will have approximately 20 delegates.

She declares the presence of Pastor Robbin Hargrove, a multifaceted Servant of God, and midwife trainer whose focus is on maternal health.

They will co-facilitate the event.

Additionally, the dynamic leader enlightened on the importance of having the youth component of the delegation, where some young speakers and authors who have co-authored the two previous books will collaborate throughout the tour.

“We have co-authors of the second edition of the 4 C’s and we allow them to go touring and sharing their knowledge and inspiration and also learn and experience various cultures around Africa,” she explained.

BlessedGirl Global will equally be represented by Pastor Koatiki Anderson, several college students, and secondary teenagers.

In perspective, she asserts that the trip to Kenya will be looking for even more schools and conservatories that will serve in the areas of sustainability.
