At I am B.E.A.U.T.Y., we know that raising a teen and being a teen presents a unique set of challenges and we have solutions.
Our Why
- 12-year-old girls with low self-esteem are two-and-a-half times more likely to engage in heavy alcohol use at age 15
- Over 80 percent of 10-year-old girls are afraid of being fat.
- By middle school, 40-70 percent of girls are dissatisfied with two or more parts of their body, and body satisfaction hits rock bottom between the ages of 12 and 15.
How we support
Girls at this stage (8-12) are creative, inquisitive, and are on a quest to be "liked". They also begin to notice differences, have questions, and begin to see the "mean girl syndrome" During this Who am I phase?...
Our workshops are fun, interactive, and theatrical in nature to promote positive self-esteem. We use a mixed method approach to teaching leadership principles that promote self- worth and Identity of learning which includes acting, public speaking, group discussions.

There are a lot of organizations focused on building self esteem and personal development. I AM BEAUTY is unique because of our methods and approach. Our special sauce is that we use a variety of techniques from behavioral theory, meisner method , experiential learning, mastering mindfulness and mirror exercises.

The cherry on top is our team leads with rigor, intensity, compassion and most importantly ...love.
