#BestSelf

Helping girls become strong women is vital to building stronger communities.

#BestSelf was an idea that came to me while recovering from a surgery in the hospital in 2014. The event brings girls, ages 13-16, and their educators and allies, together for a day of empowerment, teaching leadership skills, healthy conflict resolution and more, so these girls can embrace and become their “best selves.”

The workshops, lead by speaker-educators, builds self-confidence and empowers girls to challenge stereotypes, use their voice, pursue their dreams, mentor one another and help generate positive change for equity in their schools, communities and society.

The inaugural event also featured a social media challenge.
