00:07It's time for our Black Girl Magic Salute, which this week goes to 7-year-old Jordan West.
00:13Get this, Jordan raised $10,000 to host a Princess for a Day party at Disney World for girls in foster care.
00:21A selected group of 14 girls received the royal treatment, complete with princess gowns and rides at Magic Kingdom.
00:28To raise money, Jordan enlisted her mom's help and held garage sales, sold lemonade, and even wrote a book.
00:35Here, she dropped a few gems for other young girls.
00:39Be brave. Be confident. Be a giver. Be diligent.
00:45Laugh and not believe you, so be positive.
00:48Do you think it's easy to be a princess?
00:50If it comes, it's just wear it.
00:52Be positive to cute Jordan.
00:57You are a real-life princess, and we salute you.
