Hello. I discovered this organization through a youtube video referred from a friend. This really inspires me and gives me more confidence since my friends and I have started an organization of our own. It’s called The Metamorphosis Project. We are nonprofit and want to help better girls self-esteem. We want change and leadership as well.
