OUR MISSION

​​​As young women there are many pressures placed upon us, including: growing up, the way you look, what you do, how you do things, what you study, what you eat, etc. We want to change that. We want to teach young women to love themselves and not let others tell them what to think, what to do, what to study or what to believe. We want to educate young women that self acceptance can lead them to have a healthier life, emotionally, mentally and  even physically. Not only that, but self acceptance can lead women to persue greater roles in our community. We want to be the group that help younger girls see that their health is valuable, their wellness is important and that self love and self acceptance is more important than what others want you to be.

Anticipated Outcome

We will see more independent women learn to love themselves and learn to love  others the way they truly are. We will see more  women in leadership roles, in STEM careers, and in a mindset where they will chose self love over absurd beliefs society may give them. 

Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.
-Norman Vincent Peale

To help yourself, you must be yourself. Be the best that you can be. When you make a mistake, learn from it, pick yourself up and move on
-Dave Pelzer

Project need

Females everywhere are being brought down and shamed for not following social norms, political ideals, or family desires. We want women to know that the only voice we need to follow is our own. We can do, be, or want whatever we please and its time for us to learn that. its time for us to learn to be ourSELF.
