Helping Our Girls Love Their Bodies
From Barbie dolls to the box office, the media is doing a powerful job of telling our girls how they should look – through extreme dieting, airbrushing and plastic surgery. Together we will change this. In this workshop, adults will:

Empowering Your Daughter

  • Clearly understand empowerment and self-esteem
  • Understand the societal causes of diminished empowerment in young girls
  • Learn the consequences of girls giving up their power
  • Discover the top ten ways to empower your daughter, improve her sense-of-self and help her to make positive choices
