"I Am beautiful, You Are Beautiful, We are Beautiful™. We have formed the I AM™ program to empower girls and young women globally with the affirmation I AM™. I Am Beautiful, I Am Intelligent, I Am Powerful, I Am Unique, I Am Caring, I Am Respectful, I Am... everything I want to be, nothing is out of my reach if I can dream it, I can be it.

It is my belief the words you speak of yourself are very powerful, what you believe about yourself, what you say about yourself is what you will be. We must not seek validation outside of ourselves, we must know that "I AM™" which means IT IS; you are not trying, you don't want to be, you simply ARE and that's POWERFUL!! This is the message and belief we pass on to the members of the "I AM girls!"

-Shelia Starks

I Am Beautiful, You Are Beautiful, We Are Beautiful™ is inspired by a very beautiful and special little girl name Kamryn Nicole Young and is designed to educate and build a girl's self-esteem, boost her overall self-image and to instill in them an appreciation and respect for themselves and others.

Many little girls don't have healthy self-images of themselves or an appreciation for others. It is the belief of SSHF that if a little girl respects and loves herself, she will respect and love others. With healthy self-images and a respect for others, little girls will unlikely fall prey to the pitfalls of society like drugs, teen pregnancies, etc. Empower girls and build a powerful woman's voice.
