About this Event

Girl Talk is proud to host our annual Conversations for Our Daughters Symposium, a transformative gathering designed to strengthen the bond between fathers and daughters while highlighting the profound impact this relationship has on a young girl’s development.

This year’s focus centers on the father-daughter relationship—an often-overlooked, yet foundational connection that plays a vital role in how young women see themselves, build their confidence, and navigate emotional and intimate relationships throughout life.

Fathers (or father figures) are a girl's first mirror. Their presence—or absence—can shape how she values herself, how she sets boundaries, and how she defines love and respect in future partnerships. This symposium is an intentional space for dialogue, healing, and empowerment—where fathers and daughters can reconnect, reflect, and learn together.

Key Topics Covered:

  • The Role of Fathers in Emotional Development and Self-Worth
  • How Fatherly Affirmation Influences a Girl’s Confidence and Voice
  • Understanding How Daughters Model Intimate Relationships Based on Early Bonds
  • Healing Father-Daughter Wounds and Rebuilding Trust
  • Tools for Healthy Communication, Consistency, and Presence

Who Should Attend:

  • Fathers, stepfathers, uncles, grandfathers, and male mentors
  • Daughters age 0–18.....ALL DAUGHTERS
  • Mothers, caregivers, and community supporters who want to champion healthy family dynamics

What to Expect:

  • Guided conversations and bonding activities
  • Keynote speakers and panel discussions featuring therapists, educators, and community leaders
  • Testimonies from fathers and daughters on the power of reconciliation, growth, and support
  • Breakout sessions tailored for daughters, fathers, and joint sessions
  • Take-home resources to continue the conversation and connection beyond the event

This symposium is not just an event—it’s a movement to uplift, educate, and transform how we nurture our daughters by equipping and empowering the men who influence them most. Because when fathers show up, daughters rise.
