About the Mission.

The Pretty Mission is in it's beginning stages of becoming a national non-profit organization. It's goal is to promote positive body image for girls ages 4 to 14.

I came up with the idea because of being involved in many girl's lives. I have befriended many girls on Instagram that know me as Miss Jordan, and I see a trend of girls posting things like "rate my beauty" or "rate my friend", with different letters or numbers representing being "hideous, ugly, ehh, okay, good, hot, beautiful, perfect". After posting this, their friends comment with whatever letter or number that represents what they see.

Being in recovery myself from an eating disorder, I look at these and it breaks my heart to think any of those negative words are options. Why don't they post things like, "beautiful, pretty, funny, gorgeous, perfect, inspirational"?

I have looked into organizations for promoting positive body image for these girls and found NOTHING! No wonder! I am determined to make some kind of difference with this, I want no girl to walk the steps I did at that age!

I am looking for pictures of girls, dressed in whatever they feel most confident in. It could be a tiara and tutu or combat boots and cameo! I want to know what makes them feel their prettiest! Along with the pictures, I want the answer to these questions, no matter what age:

"What makes you feel pretty?"

"How do you know other people are pretty?"

"What is your favorite outfit and why?"

"What is something you love about yourself?"

The idea is to show that no one is the same, everyone is unique, and everyone is beautiful and to create a community where girls can get involved to help change this negative girl talk.

If you and your daughter(s) want to participate, please fill out the contact form with their their answers to these questions and their picture!
