After taking a tour at Girls, Inc. on Wednesday, I see the need to keep educating our girls on the necessity of being strong, smart and bold. It seems as essential as vitamins and minerals.
It's amazing that a girl can grow up empowered by her inner beauty with all of the messages she continues to see in advertisements, on television, in magazines and from her peers.
As a step-parent of an energetic teenage boy, I'm ever aware of his perceptions of female beauty, hoping he will one day choose a mate who is attractive to him because of her unique perspective on the world, not her botox or her breasts.
Let's keep strong as a united front, loving all of our female friends, of all heights, all weights, shapes, hair colors, pimply and flawless skin. I love what Girls Inc is doing across the country. Let's all be mini-messengers.

Beautifully said! I love that entire Dove campaign and their videos are gorgeous. thanks for sharing!
Excellent!
I personally love the Dove commercial with the freckled-faced girl. I wish I had a dollar for ever time someone told me that freckles were ugly. Good thing I always listened to my mother who told me they were angel kisses. I still smile every time I look at my son's freckled nose.
