Empowerment

Girls face many pressures, some external and some self-imposed. The stories contained in "I am an Emotional Creature" call out to girls to release themselves from these shackles. Embrace your body. Ignore popularity. Stand up for your beliefs. Dress the way you want. Accept that you have feelings which should be celebrated, not buried.

Girls across the world grapple with countless obstacles. Many of these obstacles are specific to others' perceptions of what girls should and shouldn't do or be.
