Let's teach girls to love
what looks back at them! |
Can you imagine how young girls feel when they look at themselves in a mirror and discover that the world's image of beauty is far from their reflection? What they must think when they watch television shows that promote women getting plastic surgery to "tweak" a "minor" problem. How they internalize a man disregarding them for someone they believe is more attractive. I wanted to start the week off with addressing why it's so important to instill in our young girls of all shapes, sizes, ethnicities, and cultural backgrounds that true beauty and self-love are not based on the media, stereotypical messages or men. We need to uplift our girls and encourage them to embrace THEIR own unique brand of beautiful; nobody else's. Also the importance of gracefully exhibiting this internal/external beauty without allowing any outside factors to steal its shine!
