Beautiful is one who is happy with who they are and is dedicated to spreading their confidence and knowledge to empower others.
We’re celebrating beauty in a new way. When Britta and Irene, two UP students, were talking about Miss World they had an idea: what if there was a new type of celebration of beauty? Why not a beauty pageant that celebrates real, beautiful women doing inspiring things? That’s when the idea of the BeYOU-ty Pageant emerged.
Join us Thursday April 9th from 6:30-8 PM in Shiley 301 as we hear from women making a real difference. The panel will include four women doing incredible things in their communities to empower women and redefine beauty.
Danielle Knott the Executive Director of Render: Feminist Food & Culture Quarterly and 2014 UP alum will discuss how this food magazine is transforming the way we see women in the kitchen. Lynn Lee, founder of Society Nine and also a UP alum, will discuss her brand, an MMA and boxing brand for women. Brandy Machado, Operations and Communications Director of Skate Like a Girl Portland, will discuss her nonprofit that empowers girls through skateboarding. Cheryl Green is the media artist and creator of StoryMinders, a company that focuses on disability identity and accessible content.
LUNA bars will be on hand and we’ll have a Her Campus booth at the event, too! If you’ve ever been interested in learning more about Her Campus and how you can get involved, now is your chance!
