On November 29 at 10:00PM (ET/PT), MTV viewers will watch Vanessa and Angela Simmons become the newest members of the Girl Scout family. On this episode of Run’s House, cameras follow Vanessa and Angela Simmons, as they meet with the Girl Scouts for the first time, discover the opportunities available for giving back and encourage others to join the organization.Viewers will have the chance to follow Vanessa and Angela online through their official Girl Scouts page, www.girlscouts.org/vanessaandangela, as they spread the word on Entrepreneurship and Financial Literacy Programs at Girl Scouts. The Simmons sisters, dad Rev Run and their mom Justine, a Girl Scout alumna, have recorded a variety of television Public Service Announcements (PSAs) and interviews for the cause.
“There is a real lack of people encouraging young ladies to be leaders,” says Vanessa Simmons, on her new role at the Girl Scouts. “Promoting entrepreneurship and financial literacy is important. Girls need to be business-minded so we have more female leaders in the world.” Adds Angela Simmons, “And starting now is the best thing girls can do. Selling cookies is a business and you develop those entrepreneurial skills at a young age.”
Yeah, selling Girl Scout cookies is a great way to learn about business and it’s fun! Next time I’m stocking up on Samoas and Thin Mints, I’ll remember that I’m helping tomorrow’s leaders develop important skills.
