This year 110 high school students had an amazing experience at the Walt Disney World Resort where they were inspired to make their dreams reality. The students took part in Disney’s Dreamers Academy helmed by Steve Harvey and Essence Magazine. The weekend included motivational speakers, fun activities and enriching interactive work sessions designed to inspire them to follow their aspirations. The interactive workshops gave the Dreamers a look into fields ranging from Marine Biology to Journalism, to the Performing Arts and Culinary Arts.
Some of the speakers who encouraged and motivated them included: Ruben Studdard, Yolanda Adams, Mikki Taylor, Stephen A. Smith, Tamera Mowry, and keynote speaker Raven-Symone. For the first time in the four year history of Disney’s Dreamers Academy, five students were awarded internships, four with this year’s Essence Music Festival in New Orleans. Congrats to all of the Dreamers; check out the highlight video of the Academy below:
