As the women media leaders from all over the world meets in DC it is also interesting to think of who will be the future leaders. This weekend a group of young women visited Washington as a part of the Young Women Leadership Program . In this television news clip mentor Jennifer Leyton explains their work and some of the girls get to comment on the importance of YWLP. I met with them very breifly on Sunday morning o their way back to Charlottesville. When one of the girls heard that I was going to the IWMF conference on women media leaders she got very exited. "I want to be a journalist!", she said. Maybe she will be a future participant for the goal of more gender equal and diverse journalism. Proud to know you, Jen.
