Hi. My name is Emily.
I’m a girl. In 2008 I met another girl, Alexis, who created a space that was safe for me to be me – more honest and vulnerable than I’ve ever been – and my life changed forever. She asked me to join her to start a movement, and I said yes.
We’re creating a new normal: a community where girls have permission to be who they are, instead of who they think they’re supposed to be. A world where girls lift each other up, have each other’s backs and give each other permission to talk honestly about things that matter.
We’ve launched 215 local chapters and counting, and our online community recently surpassed 1,000,000! I AM THAT GIRL empowers, supports and educates an engaged and growing community of girls from across the globe to love and express themselves through online and offline programs and initiatives.
Our programs all address the emotional, mental and physical well-being of girls. We are shifting culture – raising the standards for how girls treat each other, themselves, and the world. Join us.
