Dear Girls of the World, Never Forget Your Greatest Superpower: Your Voice

Dear Girls,

You are wonderful, ambitious, and bright — never let anyone crush your hopes and dreams. No matter where you live in the world — from New York to Beijing — please know how special you are. You can accomplish anything you set your mind to. And as cheesy as it sounds, it's true.

Life may take you in strange, scary, and interesting directions sometimes, but your passions should always be your guide through life. When you embrace your inner confidence, and own who you are, that’s when the magic happens.

I may not have all the answers, but I can tell you this: In 2011, the United Nations decided to honor girls worldwide with their own special day, called International Day of the Girl Child. This means that young, ambitious girls just like you, living throughout the world, are celebrated. This glorious day recognizes that girls are leading and demanding gender equality changes across the globe.

This is a big deal

I believe in you

In fact, deep down, I bet YOU believe in you as well.

You can do it!

Love,

A mom of two fierce and amazing girls
