Today we celebrate two incredible moments for Essence! 📚🎉

As part of her presentation from Things I Wish I Knew Yesterday by Craig Lindvahl, Essence challenged us with a powerful question: “What conversations are you having?” She reminded us that information and how we communicate matters in every area of our lives.

Through a personal story, she shared how intentional communication made a real difference. By simply connecting with her teacher, she went from a C to an A in Spanish—proof that the right conversation can change outcomes!

And as if that wasn’t enough, today is her 17th birthday! 🥳🎂

Happy Birthday, Essence! We’re proud of your growth, your voice, and the wisdom you’re already sharing. Keep shining and keep speaking up! 🎈
