ROCKFORD, Ill (WREX) — RPS 205's Sisters for Change is collaborating with Tricoci University of Beauty Culture to offer a unique day of beauty and empowerment for up to 20 girls. Participants will receive professional hair styling and connect with stylists while learning about entrepreneurship in the beauty industry.

Jarmeise McNeal, Manager of Culture & Student Engagement for RPS 205, emphasized the importance of the event.
