Teen girls from our Frederick Douglass Center in Harlem and Mirabal Sisters Campus in Washington Heights participated in the launch of Dove’s #SpeakBeautiful campaign to combat online negativity. The event started with a brief panel discussion—lead by Dove Global Self-Esteem Ambassador Jess Weiner—with social media influencers who truly understand the issues girls are facing online, including vlogger and host of MTV’s Decoded, Franchesca Ramsey, and Modern Family actress Ariel Winter. From there, each panelist spent some time with the girls in activities developed to arm girls and their mentors with the tools to face negative online comments. It was an inspiring day for everyone in attendance.
