Year after year, I find myself complaining about the impact that the cold weather here in New York City has on my skin during the winter. As a matter of fact, I keep lotion on my desk in my classroom to moisturize my skin throughout the workday. During this season, my skin tends to dry out and I have heard from many of my loved ones and friends that they also suffer from dry skin when Jack Frost chooses to make his entrance.

The True Definition of Beauty! #DoveInspired
As an educator, I get to see first-hand what happens to young girls who have low or poor self-esteem. Almost immediately, not feeling good about themselves catapults them into a downward spiral that they cannot always recover from.

Many of my female students come to me to share their feelings about not being pretty enough, about not being as beautiful as their friends, or wondering why certain boys are not interested in them. Notice that all of these feelings stem from what they think other people's perception is of who they are or whether they are good enough. The thing that is lacking from this equation is a feeling of love and worthiness from within. The problem is that a lot of young girls have not been taught how to love and value themselves first. We need to teach young girls and young women that they … [Read more...]
