<div><strong>About Us</strong>


</div>


<div>We are four students from New York City who came together to start <strong>a youth-led nonprofit dedicated to challenging the harmful and unrealistic beauty standards amplified by social media. </strong>What began as conversations among friends quickly grew into a mission shaped by both lived experience and urgency.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Within our own families and communities, we have witnessed the devastating impact of toxic beauty expectations, especially the ways they contribute to disordered eating, low self-worth, and long-term mental health struggles. <strong><em>For many of us, this includes seeing how cultural pressures, particularly within Asian communities, can intensify these issues through colorism, diet culture, and harmful beauty practices.</em></strong>


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div><strong>Our Mission</strong>


</div>


<div>We exist to raise awareness, educate, and create change around the mental health consequences of unrealistic beauty standards, especially their role in the rise of eating disorders among young people.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>As a youth-led and family-informed initiative, we center:


</div>


<ul>


<li>Mental health and prevention


</li>


<li>Honest conversations about eating disorders and their roots


</li>


<li>The intersection of culture, identity, and beauty standards


</li>


<li>The real impact of social media on self-image


</li>


</ul>


<div><br />


</div>


<div><strong>What We Do</strong>


</div>


<div>Through our nonprofit, we aim to:


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<ul>


<li>Create accessible, research-backed content about body image, eating disorders, and cultural beauty norms


</li>


<li>Build safe, supportive spaces where young people can share, learn, and heal


</li>


<li>Partner with therapists, dietitians, and cultural experts to ensure accurate and meaningful education


</li>


<li>Advocate for healthier, more inclusive representations of beauty—both online and in our communities


</li>


<li>We also use creative storytelling, especially digital art and social media, to make these conversations more engaging, relatable, and widely shared.


</li>


</ul>


<div><br />


</div>


<div><strong>Why We Need Your Support</strong>


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>We are in the early stages of building this organization, from creating educational content and hosting community programs to developing partnerships and resources for youth and families.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div><strong>Your support will help us:</strong>


</div>


<ul>


<li>Launch our platform and website


</li>


<li>Produce educational content and workshops


</li>


<li>Collaborate with mental health professionals


</li>


<li>Expand outreach to schools and communities


</li>


<li>Build a sustainable, youth-driven movement


</li>


</ul>


<div><br />


</div>


<div><strong>Our Vision</strong>


</div>


<div>With your help, we can create a future where young people, especially those navigating cultural expectations, feel seen, supported, and empowered to define beauty on their own terms.
