Calling all incredible girls!
I'm putting together a focus group in Manhattan with young women ages 13 to 19. The conversation will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for girls to share their thoughts about beauty, self-esteem and, well, pretty much whatever is on their minds (pop-culture, boys, family, achievement, etc.) for a forthcoming book by star entertainment reporter and Access Hollywood host Shaun Robinson.
I'm co-writing the book with Shaun and I couldn't be more thrilled about the project, whose purpose is to empower and encourage young women to shine on and be the inimitable stars they are.
For the book, Shaun will be talking to girls around the country and her first stop is New York City. The focus group will take place at a TBD location on Monday, October 8 (Columbus Day--school's out) from noon to 3 p.m.
We're "casting" girls as we speak, so please--IMMEDIATELY!--send word to every young, brilliant female mind you know. And if you don't know any brilliant young female minds (again, ages13 to 19 who live in the NYC area), then send this email to everyone you know who does (high-school teachers, parents of teenagers, folks who work and/or volunteer with girls, etc.).
