So you think of the big dress that dances, the changing of the shoes and everything.

It's very big deal, an event she's been planning for a CZ long as she can remember.

So I started planning when I was four, complete with a mariachi band.

Along with getting gussied up and growing up comes responsibility when you are generations and generations of strong women.

While Samantha's still three years away from being eligible to cast her first vote, she's using this special time in her life to get others registered to vote, an effort that was prompted by the shooting in their town of El Paso last year Run me out run tragedy spurred her mom, Joanna, to take action.

I thought, having my daughter's in sing Etta as a platform to empower people to go out and vote, just seeing something that we really wanted to.

This is important to choose political representatives and really focus on people.

Everyone gets a photo and Joel gets their cell number not only to text them photos but to send them a text on the day they turn 18 reminding them to register to vote, going through the usual channels of voter registration and having people come out and vote, they don't always work, especially with a minority population.

When you have the conversation 1 to 1 with people, people that you know, uh, I think it it's more powerful.

Back in 2017 these young women showed up in their Kitson, yet addresses at the Austin state capital to protest s before Texas Sanctuary Law.

Just last month, at this jolt initiative town hall, teens lined up to get in.

But on this night, it's about turning up the turnout, Getting future voices geared up to be heard yet another rite of passage worth celebrating.
