Baltimore Leadership School for Young Women (BLSYW) is an affiliate of our Young Women’s Leadership Network.

Seniors attending Baltimore Leadership School for Young Women were cheered on as their college acceptances and scholarships were announced.

The celebration was at St. Frances Academy and it was an electric atmosphere.

One of the young women highlighted was Aniya Baker. The future Maryland Terrapin is majoring in political science this fall, with hopes of being a lawyer and eventually a politician.

“I’ve been working really hard in school. My family, we’re not the richest, so I always knew me working hard was the only thing that was going to get me to school,” said Baker.
