It’s no secret that society today is not kind to women. Young girls growing up these days have the pressure of “perfection” force-fed to them in the palms of their hands, and very little support to combat it.

We can’t change what the world tells us or shows us to be “beautiful.” But we can work together to combat the lies of the enemy and lift each other up.
Every woman is worth more than rubies. Isn’t it time we started feeling that way?
All the praise to this PTO and Freedom Trail Elementary for feeding our girls truth in a world that aims to do the opposite.
