Love Your Selfie!
"Love Your Selfie" Program at Girlz Talk
How many selfie’s are on your social media feed? If you’re like many girls (and adults),
probably a lot, but what exactly do they tell us about ourselves?
Girl Scouts of Nassau County explored this with a group of
girls and moms on Mother’s Day Weekend at Girlz Talk, an event run by the
Cedarmore Corporation. What are some
physical characteristics you love about yourself? Which of your characteristics make you most
self -conscious? Would other people agree with you? These are some of the questions that were
discussed. After hearing a presentation
from Carolina Torres, a professional model and GSNC volunteer, girls took
pictures of themselves and wrote positive comments on each other’s
pictures. Some examples include, “Your
smile makes me smile,” “I love your hair,” and “Natural beauty.”
Over 200 girls and adults attended Girlz Talk, which was
cosponsored by Hofstra, GSNC, and the District Attorney. GSNC’s workshop was inspired by GSUSA’s
collaboration with Dove.
