Why the Rebel High Movement

When I was a teenager, I dealt with depression, drugs, alcohol, peer pressure, bullying and self-inflicted abuse. It was a flipping nightmare.

I was chronically spending my time in the principal's office at school or the shrink's office after school. I was told I had a "melancholy personality" by my sophomore year in high school, and the only remedy for my misbehavior, poor performance in school and emotional problems was long-term medication. I refused.

Today, I'm a 31 year old published author, professional speaker, multiple 6-figure business owner and award-winning entrepreneur. I don't tell you that to brag. I couldn't care less what anyone thinks about my accomplishments because they don't define who I am as a person. I tell you this because through many years of struggling, hard work and discovering why God has kept me alive all these years, I realized my worth, value and purpose for my life.

And that's to teach young girls, those between the ages of 10 and 18, the truth about who they are and what they're capable of, if they would simply develop a positive mindset, believe in themselves and take consistent action towards their goals and dreams.

When a girl has someone mentoring her, rooting for her and giving her the tools she needs to make good choices, stand up to peer pressure and pursue the life she wants, ANYTHING is possible. She performs better in school, excels in sports and extracurricular activities, she's interested in new things, feels more confident, treats others better, pays attention to what's important to her, and she makes a difference in the lives of others.

With just a little direction, our female youth can do WONDERS with their lives. They can impact other students at school, empower their families and become who they're meant to be. 

It's clear that young girls need a positive message regarding body image, confidence, feeling purposeful and creating a healthy lifestyle despite their background, current environment, schooling or looks. They CAN make good choices, powerfully shape their future and feel convicted in who they are... and it starts HERE and NOW with your help. 

That's why I've created the Rebel High movement and ask for you to be a part of it. So this powerful mission can become a reality and influence, dare I say, change, the lives of many.

What We Need & What You Get

We need funding AND support. If you're able to give, awesome. We appreciate it. If you can't, that's okay. We just ask that you share this movement continuously so those who can give will support this endeavor. Either way, you're part of this now, and you matter to our mission.

In case you're wondering, we have plans for how we're going to reach tween and teen girls around the globe. This is where we're starting and how your contribution will help:

• The "Rebel High Live" event will feature a full day of education and entertainment for 100 girls and one of their guardians. The experience will change lives, and admission will be free. We have several events planned for 2015. 
• The livestreamed webcast of the Rebel High Live event will allow thousands of girls around the world to be part of the experience without having to travel to the live destination.
  
• Copies of Elizabeth Hazel and The Day of Desires (Aperature Press) will be distributed to girls around the world who cannot afford the book (see below for a description of the book).
• Speaking and book tours are in the works where I will venture into elementary, middle and high schools around the United States (international tours aren't out of the question either!).

Join me in this movement and let's do something amazing together.
