In a society where we are constantly bombarded with our flaws and downfalls, there is no wonder that these are the things we find ourselves focusing on. I AM THAT GIRL has been working to build a community both online and offline which counteracts this.

Whether you have a worry, a tough decision to make, an endeavour to accomplish or even a story to share, I AM ThAT GIRL allows girls of all ages to communicate freely in a healthy atmosphere.

Most importantly I AM THAT GIRL aims to better the emotional, physical and mental well-being of girls through targeting their inner confidence and self-worth. Ultimately, I AM THAT GIRL want each of their members to be the best version of themselves. They ask each member to “speak her truth, see the best in others, and leave this world better than she found it.”

About I AM THAT GIRL

I AM THAT GIRL co-founder, Emily Greener, introduces the new series ‘I AM THAT GIRL Speaks’. She emphasizes the importance of speaking truthfully and honesty about the things that matter to us individually, rather than getting dragged into the same monotonous conversations about the things that don’t.

I AM BRAVE

If you are usually the girl that is left sitting by herself, afraid to introduce yourself to others, you are not alone. It’s okay to be shy. Kendall Battle didn’t come out of her shell until she turned 15, but she ended up just fine. Her top tip is to “take things day by day” and you will grow into your inner confidence.

I AM A DREAMER

Try not to let your dreams get lost or crushed just because someone tells you they are too big. Monica Hiesler, a Local Chapter Leader for I AM THAT GIRL, tells us that nothing is unattainable. If you reach a point where you don’t know where you are heading, then it just means you need to make an important decision about what will make you the happiest. Monica explains: “if you’re going to doubt anything, doubt your own limits.”
