Beauty, body image and breaking barriers
Presenter: Kairee Franzen, Senior, exercise science and dance

Lecture Description
There's Barbie's figure. And then there's true beauty that is not about body shape but about attitude, self-esteem and nutrition. Kairee Franzen researched this topic and then developed a workshop for pre-teen girls. She gave her "Smart Girls" series its first field test last spring at the Buenger Boys & Girls Club in Newport's Westside. Over nine weeks, the girls in Kairee's participatory class were empowered to believe they can be successful and healthy inside and out. Kairee will share what the research taught her, and what she taught the girls.

You'll want to be sure to share this event with the young women in your life!
