This month, as we celebrate women in leadership, I wanted to take just a moment of your time to talk about ways we can build confidence and self-worth in girls.

My daughter, Isabella, has so many wonderful qualities. Not only do I want her to believe and know how valuable she is in God’s eyes, but I also want her to grow up in a healthy environment where her strengths are valued.

You don’t have to look far to find statistics about girls and self-esteem. Knowing these troubling facts makes me want to work diligently to raise a strong daughter.
