Anya Dillard for Youth Leadership Retreat: Workshops

Speaker: Anya Dillard

Anya Dillard: Hi, Riley's Way! My name is Anya Dillard. I'm a social entrepreneur, content creator, and model from West Orange, New Jersey. I am also the founder of the Next Gen Come Up. I'm inviting you to join me for the Be Revolutionary workshop to learn how to tell your public narrative, organize effectively, network, and brand yourselves to becoming the Gen Z thought leaders of the future.

Anya Dillard: I'm most excited to hear all of your stories. I think that there is so much value in sharing our journeys, sharing our ups and downs, and explaining to one another exactly how those ups and downs resulted in the people that we are today and the work that we choose to pursue in our areas of expertise, our areas of passion. So I'm really excited to see what you all have to offer in terms of what you've been through and how you're choosing to use that as your tool and as an inspiration for your careers and for your journeys as change makers.

Anya Dillard: The goal of my workshop is to teach you all that there is no one way to be an activist. It doesn't matter whether you want to run for public office or whether you want to be the first black doctor in your hometown, or if you want to be a visual artist, an astronaut, you can be revolutionary anywhere that you go and my workshop is gonna teach you exactly how to do that.
