11 Quotes From The YWLS 2016

On June 12- 16in Dallas, Texas, a movement happen. 400 plus girls joined forces to stand up for what they believe in. Four hundred beautiful and smart leaders came together to show the left, that they will not fall victims to what, they feel women should only worry about. We had some amazing speakers. Here are 11 Quotes, that young female leaders should live by or remember when the world is against them.


1. Each of you are valuable. Know your value. -Patrice Lee

Ladies, we each are special in a different way. Do not second guess yourself. Never let some define you and make you feel like, you don't have a voice. Know your value and fight for what you believe in. Never let doubt or fear stop you from fighting.

2. DON'T be afraid to look different. Be stylish, stand out. - Patrice Lee

People believe that conservatives are a bunch of old white men, who oppress women. BE DIFFERENT. Wear dresses, wear high heels, wear earrings, and always wear your bright RED lipstick with pride. Just because we all look DIFFERENT, it doesn't mean you can be conservative or a republican. How you look doesn't define what you believe.


3. Get your finger out of your ears and listen to those, who you disagree with. - Patrice Lee

I know, it is really hard to sit and listen to the other side when they want to debate and find a way to shred apart your political view. Don't be so quick to shut them down. Step back and listen to their side of the argument. Explain why you believe that their view is wrong and support it with FACTS! You may learn something.

4. You are here because you are losing your country and you need to get it back. - Former Congressman Joe Walsh.


As an American, we should love our country and defend it at all cost. This isn't the America our parents grew up in. It was a DIFFRENT America and a better America. It is up to us to be the voice our country desperately need. We need to stand up to those trying to destroy our COUNTRY! We need to stand up to those making a mockery of our NATION.

"You are the front line of the conservative movement. It is up to you to save it." - Joe Walsh


5. The left thinks that every republican and conservative, think the same way. -Amanda FFL Founder

We don't belong in just one box. We all have different views and we are allowed to disagree. We as conservatives/ republicans, do not fall under the same box, we can belong to as many boxes as we want. Don't let someone make you feel like you can't agree or defend a topic because it's un-republican of you. Think for your self and only you.


6. Don't be nervous about delegating - Foster Fries


Delegating is a good thing. It helps you: Save time, achieve more, and increase your value. The team leader isn't the only who sees the advantage but also your team members. Benefit for your team members including: development, self-esteem, and job enhancement. Delegating is efficient, flexible, it aid communication, balances the workload and keeps things interested while keeping everyone motivated.

7. Our country does not give out success but Liberty gives you the opportunity to succeed. - Ginni Thomas

Never wait for things to be done for you. If you want to be heard, speak out and let your voice be heard. You have the liberty to seek out and reach your goals.

8. Here in this country we have the privilege to make our voices heard - Patrice Lee


Don't let people intimidate you because, they don't think like you. You have the right to practice the first amendment. You live in AMERICA and it's your God Given right.

9. It's important to understand that friends and families are the structure that will allow one to succeed. - Katie Pavlich

The second Amendment rights are equally important for women. "The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed," the rights apply to us women as much as it applies to men. Women should exercise their RIGHTS to protect themselves and the families. This isn't a special women issue, it's your RIGHT as an AMERICAN.

11. Be Loud. Be proud and be UNASHAMED of your values. -Amanda, Founder of FFL.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
