Instead, we focus on building self-esteem and awareness by shifting the typical paradigm and teaching girls and women that what they have inside makes them beautiful, special and unique. B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L. is an acrostic meaning Brave, Energetic, Assertive, Unique, Tenacious, Important, Fabulous, Unequaled and Loved.
