Supporters of the Step Up Women’s Network, Chicago Sky players Lassiter and Wyckoff worked with Step Up and ULTA to connect with teen girls in the community through hands-on workshops offering the tools and skills that empower them to resist gender stereotypes; combat teen pressures; overcome fear of failure; embrace the right to speak up and inspire them to grow into strong, confident women.

Event highlights included dynamic workshops on goal setting, fitness, wellness and skin care. A healthy lunch and fun ULTA goody bags were given to each girl.
