About Me

Hi! My name is Brianna Lockwood, and I am trying to make a difference in the way we treat each other. If you had to close your eyes and I said the words pretty,dainty, and skinny what would you see? How about if i said brave, athletic, strong and muscular? I bet the first time you pictured a girl and the second time you pictured a boy. What if someone can't live up to what their peers think would make them perfect? What if they didn't want to? Living up to what society expects us to be is impossible. Everyday adolescents are bullied because of how they look or act. I believe that every one should be different and believe in themselves so we all can fight society's "normals" together.

Today, I had the chance to talk to a Girl Scouts troop about my platform, BElieve in YOUrself. I read them my favorite self esteem boosting book, The Affirmation Weaver by Lori Lite, and we colored pages and worked on worksheets that made each girl recognize her unique qualities. 
I think it is so important to work with young people. Teaching them to embrace the uniqueness of themselves and eachother will help change the views of society in the future. Someday being unique will be the new normal. As always, Be You!
