Through this luncheon, we’ll highlight the transformative impact Girl Scouting has on girls’ lives and recognize those who illuminate the path for them to lead with courage, confidence, and character.

Erika J. Kendrick is a bestselling author, award-winning national
speaker, mental fitness expert, and Girl Scout Gold Award recipient.
After beating her “mental monsters” and slaying her “brain pain,” Erika
founded Mental Fitness for Life to empower others to truly thrive – not
just struggle to survive. Through open conversations about her lived
experiences with depression and sharing strategies to meet challenges
head-on, Erika has inspired people of all ages to prioritize their
mental wellness and create a life filled with purpose, resilience, and
joy. As a Girl Scout Alumna and a trailblazer, Erika will illustrate the
power of connection, hope and community and empower you to create safe
spaces to have life-saving conversations.
