Community Activist Gio Pays A Visit To The PS120 YMCA After School Program

June 11, 2012 - PRLog -- Team G/O hit the afterschool program with the #upmovement in order to keep spreading the message of planting the right seeds for the future. Gio delivered the equation of life “Education=Power “ to grades K-5. The children were entertained and educated on real facts of bullying and the important role they have for the future to make responsible choices.

Gio shared some of her favorite mantras: “You see something, say something”, “Don't follow bad influences”, “Be a leader & the face of change”, “ Two hearts can change the world” etc.

Gio’s motto and message was driven home after teaching them the Dorothy dance and explaining them the story behind the song.  Gio also shared her testimony about her wizard Oprah and how she follows her journey and study her mission and encouraged the students to do the same. She explained the importance of finding a role model with whatever craft they wish to master, and start planting those seeds early. After the house learned how to dance the Dorothy, Team Gio signed autographs, gave pens, bookmarks, wristbands, took pictures, driving the message to about 300 students about the power of being educated.
