VRA Presentation @ AAUW Austin Branch Meeting

"These four girls, Priya and Kavya Ramamoorthy, Maanasa Nathan, and Smrithi Mahadevan, walked into the meeting demure and reserved, took their seats. Then, when program coordinator Lilac Bauer introduced them, four lionesses stood up to address

their appreciative audience at the University of

Phoenix.

At sixteen years of age, their passion for civil

rights, their poise, eye contact, vocal skills,

the excitement they generated, a palpable energy coursed through the room! We all knew we were witness to something special. " - AAUW May 2014 Newsletter
