Are you ready to be the super girl you were meant to be?
Join us and develop your superpowers…like being brave, dreaming big, and taking bold action. We will provide you with tips, keeping-it-real stories from girlhood, and easy actions you can take to begin creating the spectacular life you are meant to have.
All learned from the lives of real-life superheroes — teen girls and young women. You’re brave even if you don’t know it yet! So connect with us and get started to be the superhero you are meant to be!
Our writing project, What’s Your Brave™, shares lessons on everyday courage from teen girls and young women in the United States. We began the project because of the pervasive disconnect we saw between the portrayal of teen girls in the media and what we observed in the lives of the extraordinary young women we knew. We decided to go to the real adolescent experts – the teen girls themselves — to understand the true state of girlhood.
Despite a diversity of backgrounds and life experiences, the young women that we interview share an internal journey marked by depth and courage. By sharing their stories and the reoccurring themes we observe, we hope to:
- Provide parents and others concrete courage touchstones for nurturing the brave in teen girls and young women
- Inspire all teen girls to own their “brave”
- Help teen girls and young women in living their biggest, boldest dreams
