Campaign for Real Beauty


http://www.campaignforrealbeauty.com

As a young woman, I have to say that I love this campaign and the idea of 'widening the idea of beauty'. I am overwhelmed by images in magazines and in the media of women who carry this idea of beauty around but neglect to expose the dishonesty and betrayal done to their bodies so they look that way. As an educator who works very closely with young people, I deal with and witness self-esteem issues all the time. I feel sorry for kids growing up in these times. I see how many struggle with their self-image in a time they already struggle with so many other things, including figuring out who they. This campaign is inspiring and the mini-films are beautifully done. Please take the time to check out the site and view the films.
