Growing up, my parents always instilled in me that I can do anything that I set my mind to and the fact that I was a girl didn't matter. Thankfully, my parents made me a stronger woman today by always making sure that I knew I could do anything. Sadly, not all girls are raised in this way or lack the confidence that a young woman should have. All girls (and women) need to have the confidence in them that they are amazing and they can do whatever they dream!
One of the most discussed Super Bowl commercials this evening has definitely been Always' "Like A Girl" commercial. As the commercial started with grown women and young boys imitating what "run like a girl" means to them, I found myself being insulted more an more by the second with each person showing uncoordinated running impersonations. As the commercial went on, they showed young girls showing what "running like a girl" is. The girls showed confidence, strength, and pride as they demonstrated what they thought it was to run like a girl. Growing up, my parents always instilled in me that I can do anything that I set my mind to and the fact that I was a girl didn't matter. Thankfully, my parents made me a stronger woman today by always making sure that I knew I could do anything. Sadly, not all girls are raised in this way or lack the confidence that a young woman should have. All girls (and women) need to have the confidence in them that they are amazing and they can do whatever they dream! Thank you Always for sharing this message. Please share the #LikeAGirl movement with your daughters, sisters, friends, and other females in your life as well as your sons, brothers, etc. No matte what you do #LikeAGirl - do it the best way you can! It is time that the world stops seeing females as weakness and realizing it is awesome to be a girl! Question of the Day: What do you do "like a girl"?
