FCV087 Beautiful Project, Naomi Katz

Everyone has heard the voice of his or her own "inner critic" taking pot shots at us during times of low self-confidence. For many girls and women that inner critic often mutters (or shouts) about how we look. A running internal monologue of body-shaming can become so ubiquitous we don't even know we're doing it. And yet, without awareness of this self-abuse, how can women truly gain the confidence we need to reach our full potential? How can we stop seeing other women as competitors in a universal beauty competition and start seeing them as friends, mentors, and sister in a support network? Annie talks with Naomi Katz, teacher and author of "Beautiful: Being an Empowered Young Woman", about Beautiful Project, her initiative to empower women to take action into our own hands, to understand that we are the builders of our culture and that we drive the changes that we wish to see, beginning with ourselves and echoing into our communities. About Naomi Katz (@ModelSelfEsteem) Naomi Katz is a writer and teacher and has been working with young women for over 15 years. She is the author of "Beautiful: Being an Empowered Young Woman", and founder of Beautiful Project, a curricular initiative dedicated to building self confidence among adolescent girls and young women. Her work is a call to attention, to recognize that we are the creators of our culture. She focuses on empowering ourselves to take action into our own hands, to understand that we are the builders of our culture and that we drive the changes that we wish to see, beginning with ourselves and echoing into our communities. learn more at Copyright © 2009-2018 Annie Fox and Electric Eggplant.
