And more beautiful than ever!
in 2016, the TheBeautifulU! was birthed. I was looking at the challenges that the youth, young girls in particular, were facing and trying to imagine the best way I could help them. Then, one evening I was in my house working on a program for the Teens Ministry in my church, when the vision of the word Beautiful with the U capitalized in the middle flashed in front of me. I didn’t have my first program until April 2018, but that first step became the beginning of something great. From there, I built a website, created an online series and eventually, I built an app!
I saw there was a need for young ladies to have mature mentors that could teach them how to be successful women. Sometimes, the atmosphere at home doesn’t always make space for our young ladies to be free to ask certain to questions, but that doesn’t mean the questions are not there. So I really wanted to create a safe space for these young ladies to be themselves, speak freely so we could also speak to them in a way that would inspire them, encourage them and build them up.
Today, as I have moved to another continent, I was concerned that the needs of this society would be different from the one that I left so I continued to study the land to pinpoint the needs of the young ladies here. And while they are facing different challenges than those in North America, there is still a need for a safe space for young ladies to speak freely and ask those questions that are deep in their heart and get a response that is full of love and compassion.
