"Strong is the New Pretty": Kate T. Parker

Kate T. Parker has taken her skill and creativity and blended it to help reshape and expand our culture's concept of female beauty by empowering girls to believe that real beauty and strength lies in being 100% genuine. Kate's book, "Strong is the New Pretty," is a collection of 175 photographs that explore and celebrate beauty based on authenticity. As a mother of daughters herself, this topic is deeply personal for Kate, and as you'll soon discover, her passion for supporting and empowering girls is an important message... one that all too many brush aside. Alongside the launch of her book, Kate has extended her philanthropic efforts to partner with organizations like Girls on the Run and The Bully Project, investing in girls' health and education and has also collaborated with brands like Athleta, Kellogg's and Oxygen. Whether you are a parent of girls or know one this episode is for you. If we want to live in a world where our girls get to play an active role in shaping the future, then we've got to begin the work of empowering them now.  And Kate's here to tell us what we can do to join that team.
