Similar to what has already been said I think that education is
KEY. We can educate everyone about the other four thrusts while using the educational thrust as an umbrella thrust. The strengths of this particular thrust is that this can be applied to everyone. A person is NEVER to old to learn.
Currently, I work with my area's Delta Academy. We are stressing education as the primary goal this year. We have used education in a very broad sense. We have different elements that we like to work on including: academics, self-love, sheroes, etc. While it is important to stres education for everyone, I believe that young African-American women have a lot to benefit from the academy. For one, they are able to see other African-American women in a positive light and can also use these women as role models.
I myself have learned a lot from the Academy, not only from the members of Delta Sigma Theta but the young girls themselves. I believe CT4 said it best, "without education we cannot move forward as a people".
