This weekend Hollywood actors join forces with WriteGirl, a local nonprofit, to portray stories written by teen girls on stage.
WriteGirl pairs young women with professional writers to promote empowerment, creativity and self-expression.
This weekend WriteGirl is hosting a fundraising benefit at the Linwood Dunn Theater in Hollywood called Lights, Camera, WriteGirl.
Keren Taylor, the executive director of Write Girl, and writer Josann McGibbon, who's credits include "Runaway Bride," "The Starter Wife" and last year's Disney Channel hit "Descendants" joined host Alex Cohen in studio to talk about the organization, their red carpet benefit, and the process of mentoring young women to become confident poets, journalists, screenwriters, and more.
Some of the actors attending the star studded event include Wendi McLendon-Covey of "The Goldbergs," Keiko Agena of "Gilmore Girls," Aasha Davis of "Friday Night Lights," Trevor St. John of "Containment" and Tembi Locke of "Eureka" who will be performing pieces written by WriteGirl participants.
