Getting REAL Tour

getreal_web_150.jpg

    • 92% of teen girls would like to change something about the way they look
    • 86% of the approx. 10 million American girls and women who suffer from an eating disorder report the onset of their condition by age 20
    • Just 2% of women think they’re beautiful
    • More than 50% of women between ages 18-25 would rather be run over by a truck than be “fat”

    Girls and women don’t have to let unrealistic ideals diminish their power. They can get REAL instead…

    I'm teaming up with the amazing Audrey Brashich, author of ALL MADE UP: A Girl’s Guide to Seeing Through Celebrity Hype & Celebrating Real Beauty, to deliver an empowering workshop for teen girls and young women about how to recognize their REAL assets and change their worlds (inside and out). During this interactive workshop, girls, young women and their advocates will learn how to get REAL through these 3 steps:

    • Step 1 be wise to the unREAL(ities)
    • Step 2 be REAL
    • Step 3 be a REAL role model

    middle school, high school, college and parent presentations
    During these interactive workshops and keynotes, girls and women learn how to boost their media literacy, improve their body image and self-respect and create social change for all girls and women.
