Overview
In our study of 333 teen girls from 11 global ethnicities, over 50% wish to change their physique; namely their body. 56% confessed that they DO NOT love themselves, 25% said they DO love themselves, and the remaining 19% were unsure about how they felt. 71% confessed that they HAVE NOT spoken to their parents about how they feel. This book will; ✅ Inspire ✅ Give direction ✅ Facilitate healthy human connections ✅ Empower the mind ✅ Re-invent self esteem ✅ De-value loneliness

From the lips of the creator, "Last weekend I spent 2 nights in the hospital with my little one as he battled a lung infection; I was graced to meet a teen who was on admission - this was her second failed attempt at excessive self-harm. She'd had a go at self-harm twice in two weeks and almost died in both cases. Her's is a story of acceptance, relevance and a lack of self-love. This encounter re-emphasised once again the reality of the world in which our teen girls find themselves - there is a constant daily and periodic battle in their minds; a fierce battle for acceptance, love, relevance, perfection and self-love! 

OWN IT! is timely in that there is a growing movement in the Western world and abroad for real, substantive content that helps empower young women. Readers crave information that speaks to their heart and the heart of our society. OWN IT! is a beautiful marriage of inspiring content, clever design, and witty insight. This 2-in-1 book explores the vast landscape of emotions that adolescent girls experience – from tragedy and despair to joy, elatement and self-love. Though it touches on the hardships and mental blocks that many young women face, it more importantly provides a heartfelt look at the other side, the light at the end of the tunnel. This approach was carefully chosen in order to help reduce the allure of loneliness, self-hate, suicide attempts, suicides and self-harm so many adolescent girls experience. 

The purpose of this book series is to help revolutionise young female identity and watch as it impacts the wider world; and to continue the trend of empowerment and strength that our girls are feeling. It is my sincere hope that this project will inspire more people to join in the effort to bring dignity and hope to the life of young women across the globe."

We want to publish our first 600 copies.

Accompanying each Early Bird Special copy of the book will be a beautifully illustrated and well crafted DIGITAL daily Resolution Planner.

We went out to teen girls across 11 ethnicities and we collected anonymous data on how they genuinely feel about themselves; we came away with more insight than we bargained for. Below you'll find some of the discoveries we came across;

 

 

..... And they also kindly shared their inner thoughts with us;

Understanding these statistics underscores the importance of this campaign. A great number of teenage girls feel awful about their bodies, image, character and more. What you see on the outside is a girl who 'seems happy and fulfilled', but many teenage girls tell us this is so - they do not love themselves! Guess what, this trend was same across the 11 ethnicities we surveyed. It is a global trend.

We want to help teen girls learn more about themselves, their mind, their actions and their daily responsibility. We believe that spelling this out in a book is more beneficial and will act as a reference point for them. By contributing to this campaign you will help make this happen for no fewer than 600 teenage girls.

 

This is specifically made for girls age 12-19 years.

Only Teenage girls?

No. Specifically for teen girls, but suitable for pre-teens and young adults.

 

Two books have been combined to create OWN IT! One half is a book of success and empowering explanatory quotes, the second half is a book of mental and emotional challenges, including ideas and a workbook that'll help the young female intentionally  access where she is at presently, where she'd love to be in the near future and how to get there. More importantly, because too many words spoil the pie or get avoided by teenagers, we decided to 'SPEAK UP' in multidimensional life quotes for girls and to girls who feel powerless, un-loved and ridden with the guilt of their past - we want to make them understand that every stage in life is but a stage and they can absolutely OWN each stage. 

All quotes are original and from the heart strings of the Bold Girl laboratory (not a real lab, more like a think-tank space:)

OWN IT! has 60+ multidimensional and explanatory life quotes, emotional and mental scenario challenges plus ideas, and a workbook designed to inform, empower, and motivate girls to take action and OWN their everyday journey in life. Some of the topics covered are;

... including topics on Your Body, Legacy, Foresight, People skills and lots more.

 

 

The money raised from this campaign will enable us to finish and deliver this beautifully illustrated hardcover book to at least 600 girls around the world. The initial funding goal of £8,500 (US$11,800) will help to fund: 

within the timescales below;

Before we send the book to print, we plan to invite teen group subject matter experts, and a few on the ground experts to review the book's content, to ensure fairness and precision of impact. We also are considering using one of the best printing companies in the world (in North America) to produce our book.

Early Bird Specials come with a free downloadable digital OWN IT! Resolution Planner;

Also, as part of the Early Bird Special, we will pay a fraction of the delivery cost - saving you more money!

 

Hello! We are Nkechie Ilori, BJ Lawal and Sylvia. Nkechie is the creator of OWN IT!, an author to a published book, and the founder of A Bold Girl Movement; a movement built simply to help teen girls build inner resilience, boldness and focus.  We are people working to impact the world positively.  

Sylvia comes from a world of content development and management; a former high school teacher and a marketing whiz who has worked with a few FTSE 50 companies. BJ's experience is in strategy and business analysis; he works with teenagers in a non-profit capacity and has done so for over 10 years. 

Combining our strengths together is our little way  of contributing to a greater and better society and world. 

 

Risks & Challenges

This is a low risk project.

While the book is 75% finished, we have worked hard to structure the book's content management; we are collaborating closely with our illustrators, and the full delivery of all illustrations will be complete by the second week in January 2018. We will invite subject matter experts to review the content to make sure that the content and the precision of impact is as should be.

We will do everything we can to meet the timeline. In case of any problems and delays, we will make sure to inform you as soon as they arise.
