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.

Girls are so often pitted against each other as enemies or adversaries. We even see it in 'Us' magazine: Who wore it better?

I had to make some drastic choices to avoid losing myself.

I just love creating an environment where people can open up and say what's on their mind and in their heart.

I noticed that no matter where I went in the country, there was this group of questions that got asked. I would track them and keep them in categories. Like body image, school, family, friendship, you name it, the emotional life of a teenage girl.

I'm no expert standing at a podium giving speeches. I share heartbeats. Compassion.

For me, as an actress, being a dancer has helped me. I've done it with my feet bloody.
