ow Pretty 2 Me Got its Start You feel like nobody gets you and all you want to do is “fit in”. Wait. You mean there is someone other than you that feels the same way? The answer is yes. You are

not alone. As a matter of fact, this is how our story starts. It’s about a young girl who at times, felt left out when she was in middle school. As middle school came and went, things started to shape up and high school was a lot easier. After talking with friends about middle school, the young girl realized that even though she felt like she was the only one she wasn’t alone. She realized this was a problem that affected EVERY girl at some point in her middle school life, and this is how Girl Talk was born.

I am so thrilled that you were able to come back to OSLC and be the FEARLESS role model that you are to so many female leaders in Ontario. You’re the best!

Holly Talaska, OSLC Coordinator

Thank you so much for joining us today. Your message about girl world complexities was so

true – even way beyond the teen years! I think the conversations were great and I hope

they take all the lessons away.

Cindy McDowell, West Elgin Secondary School

Thank you so much for exploring “FearlesslyKiND” with the women of our school. We hope we make headway in helping them to

“be bold” and understand who they are and how they should be treated and treat others. It was

great to have you and thank you again.

Medway Healthy Minds Committee

My daughter just returned home from school RAVING about your FearlesslyKiND program! She talked non-stop for about 15 minutes, which rarely happens when asked about her day! She was so excited about everything you talked about and said two girls who had been excluding her from activities actually apologized to her. I just wanted to thank you for what you do, and I will be calling to thank the school for brining your wonderful program to our girls. Thank you!”
