Be Your Own Kind of Beautiful Workshop

Social media has rapidly grown to become a part of our everyday lives, but it has also become a weapon of mass destruction to self-esteem and self-image especially of young girls. Our one-hour workshop called “Be Your Own Kind of Beautiful” (BYOKB) for up to 35 middle school girls (6th to 8th grade) addresses issues of low self confidence and negative ideas of body image that come from social media’s culture of unrealistic beauty standards and body expectations. We educate students about the realities behind what they are viewing, equipping them with strategies on how to navigate through those images and their thoughts, and empowering them to empower themselves and others to be confident and love themselves. At this workshop, we strive to create a safe space for students to discuss sensitive questions, deconstruct social media and its influence, and understand our ideas on beauty standards and where they stem from. We encourage young girls to be critical and healthy users of social media and encourage their peers to be the same.

Rainbows Mountains and Stars - Songs and Activities for Babies

This booklet is an activity packet to help you sing with your child in Spanish and English. These songs are all about every day activities, such eating, brushing teeth, and going on walks. We sing with our baby about things we see, such as the moon and stars in the sky, the food on our plates, the mountains we see outside, and the qualities of the people in our lives. We wrote these songs and created accompanying activities
