Take 5 for Your Dreams
Paula Grieco is a writer and entrepreneur. Liz McHutcheon is an artist and small business coach. Together they founded, What's Your Brave (www.whatsyourbrave.com), a writing and media project dedicated to supporting teen girls in being brave, dreaming big, and taking positive bold action. The founders started the project because of the pervasive disconnect between the portrayal of teen girls in the media and what they observed in the lives of the extraordinary young women they knew. They decided to go to the real adolescent experts – the teen girls themselves — to understand the true state of girlhood. After significant research and over 100 interviews with teen girls from diverse backgrounds and circumstances what they discovered was even better than expected  — an abundance of brave young women who wanted to impact the world in extraordinary ways and share lessons for all on being brave, dreaming big, and taking bold action.
