On March 27th, I volunteered to participate in this wonderful event - SHE.
This is what their website says about the event:
The Purpose of the SHE Forum
To create awareness and to educate girls and their parents about RA and expanding their opportunities. The day is shared with their parents to learn about relational aggression, self-image, connective relationships, and enlightened parenting.
The research based interactive workshops will engage participants as they explore these age appropriate topics.
- Personal safety and relational aggression strategies presented by local community outreach agencies
- Keeping your hair and skin healthy with expert advice from stylist and skin care professionals
- Dressing your best with body image and fashion awareness from local fashion experts
- Nutrition and quick simple workouts for busy teens with fitness professionals.
- Fun! Fun! Fun, and learning you will take with you and use rest of your life.

I loved the idea to participate in something to help young girls (5th-8th grade) develop a positive idea about self-image. I think girls get such an unrealistic portrayal of beauty from the media and I think it is important at this impressionable age to help teach girls about individual beauty. LaTricia and I spent the afternoon down at Ingleside Middle School creating some quick headshots of each girl to show them how beautiful each one is. We called it “CELEBRATE YOU!” Beauty begins with the confidence and the ability to love you for you! Each participant received a complimentary $50 credit towards a unique photography session where we will photograph them and let their true personality shine through during a fun, on-location photography session. Each participant will also be able to download a free souvenir image with the “SHE” and “Marriott Photography” overlays like here:
