As Cleveland girls are attending their second month of the new school year; 93FM, MYCOM and Saving Our Daughters welcomed the first session of the 2019-2020 Literacy Luncheons, with influential actresses on television and film.
On Saturday, September 14th, the Netflix hit series All American actress, Bre-Z joined her Saving Our Daughters family to empower over six MYCOM Cleveland Neighborhood Schools to kick off of the Inaugural MyCom & Saving Our Daughters Literacy Luncheon Series. Bre-Z is best known for her role as “Freda Gratz” on “Empire”, as she also starred in TV Ones “Down for Whatever” and she is currently starring as the very charismatic, fan favorite Coop on the CWs hit new show, All American.
The Luncheon was co – hosted by Kenya Brown of Radio One/93 FM and Brenda Pryor, MyCom Coordinator for the Maple Heights & Warrensville Heights Communities. It was an emotional and impactful day with Bre-Z.
Bre – Z spoked to the high schoolers about her role in her new series, positive choices and her personal beliefs on self – awareness. Bre-Z is best known for her role as “Freda Gatz”, who garnered respect in the rap game on FOX’s top-rated series, Empire. She held back no punches, as she did not sugar coat her feelings on the importance of self-worth as females and as person.
When asked, “Who is her role model?” Bre-Z stated, “I am inspired by everyone I see. I don’t think one person has it all together. Everywhere I go I see things I want to be and don’t want to be. I am even inspired by things I see that I don’t want to be.”
Kenya and Brenda initiated the traditional welcome by escorting Bre-Z to each table as the girl’s laughed, smiled and cried. The up-close meeting and talking with Bre-Z before inspired the girls through Q&A was GREAT! Each girl also received the book, “I Want To Be Me, But I Don’t Know Who I Am”, by Madelyn Boskovitz, Ph.D.
