No movie influenced me more to go after my dreams than 'Flashdance.' After seeing it, I took 15 dance lessons a week. I cut all my sweatshirts. I did the 'Maniac' thing.

Having gone through so many of the personal things I've gone through, its about creating an (online) space for girls to be heard. I don't profess to have all the answers. But Ask Elizabeth is a space where girls are not alone.

Girls' inner critics are starting to reveal themselves at a younger and younger age. And body image issues are an aspect of their lives which is causing them low self esteem and day-to-day suffering.

I don't think people have seen yet what I can really do. Only appetizers!

No one goes unscathed, we all go through things. We just can't let people's nasty words become our beliefs about ourselves, you know?

My mission is to give girls the tools to be able to blossom into their best selves.

I think often times when people choose to be part of a charity; it's usually because something is very personal.
