Empowered Flower Girl Announces If I Were President Campaign and Inauguration Day Celebration

DETROIT - EntSun -- On January 20, U.S. citizens will inaugurate their 46th president. And while presidents and other elected officials serve their country as leaders and policymakers, they aren't the only ones who can affect change.

Everyday people make extraordinary contributions to our society regardless of age or occupation.

Empowered Flower Girl, a social enterprise that empowers youth and youth advocates to live above life's drama and make a powerful difference, is inviting people of all ages to join its If I Were President campaign and share their ideas to make an impact in their homes, schools, communities and beyond.

The campaign culminates on Monday, January 18, MLK Day, with an "inauguration" event where participants will share their ideas and celebrate and support one another to make them a reality.
