Self-Esteem Week!

Next week I'll be heading to Connecticut to lead Self-Esteem Week! We'll be empowering more than 1,000 girls and hundreds of adults with the tools and inspiration to get REAL.

The week is presented by the dedicated folks at the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference and Dove Self-Esteem Fund. I can't wait to see some of the girls and educators I met last year and to work together to change our world--inside and out!
