Part 1. Raising 'Authentic' Girls Part 2. Homeless Advocacy

Join host, Ashley Thirstrup, on Friday November 20th from 6:00pm to 6:30pm, as she interviews award-winning author, Rachel Simmons.  They will discuss her latest book The Curse of the Good Girl - Raising Authentic Girls with Courage and Confidence.   In her book, Rachel argues that by idealizing the 'good girl' we teach girls to deny their own power and potential.  Niice, polite, and modest is an identity that is not only unachievable, but paralyzing for girls who learn to constantly self-criticize.   Tune in to Bread and Roses, this Friday November 20th, to learn what you can do to encourage the girls in your life to break through society's expectations to become 'good girls,' and to instead recognize their authentic voices.

From 6:30pm - 7:00pm, join Bread and Roses host, Gabi Ross, as she brings us voices of people experiencing homelessness and housing advocates who are passionate about creating change in our communities.
