Encouraging Confidence in Young Women

After realizing that she is the number one influence in her daughter’s life, Keisha Montfleury became inspired to spread awareness about building self-confidence in young girls. Currently, Keisha is the founder of Abundantly Authentic, a faith-based nonprofit organization that teaches young women the principles of self-confidence. In today’s episode, Keisha breaks down the five keys to building confidence and living authentically.

As women, we have a responsibility to provide the younger generation with tools and strategies for success. According to Keisha, self-esteem is built around practicing self-care, good health, understanding your purpose, and investing time in things that propel you forward. Having self-confidence not only helps women understand themselves, but also prevents them from engaging in dangerous behavior. It is important to teach these strategies to girls early on so they develop healthy habits and demand self-confidence in their younger and formative years. 

Tune into this week’s episode of AskMamaAmy to learn about how to encourage self-confidence in young women so they can recognize their purpose, live authentically, and build the foundation for healthy relationships with themselves and others.
