ambiSHEous- A Business Workshop for OttawaTeen Girls

Events

AMBISHEOUS Ottawa EventIf only this existed when I was a young girl… I have always been an entrepreneur. My father came to Canada from Armenia and built his business from the ground up, with literally nothing. Growing up, we didn’t have much money, so we learned to be very frugal, creative, resourceful and entrepreneurial. I was dressed head-to-toe in second hand hand-me-downs. We used to make our own Barbie clothes and cardboard Barbie houses. We would have annual garage sales and lemonade stands and I used to sell stickers at recess in elementary school (until they banned it! haha).
I got my first job in grade 9 at a Mom and Pop hardware store, where I worked to the bone and paid for everything myself. I juggled school, Army cadets, a part-time babysitting gig and my social life (duh!). I was a busy kid then, and I am a busy gal now!

If you know any teen girl in the Ottawa area that has entrepreneurial spirit, check out ambiSHEous. It’s full day business workshop built by awesome business women in Ottawa who will be mentoring and coaching participants. I could not attend myself, so I sponsored a ticket… and you should too!

ambiSHEous is for girls who want to pave their own way and make an impact in the world.

Start Smart: Summer Workshop for World-Changing Girls (age 10-14)

Why can’t we accept Lena Dunham’s self-acceptance?

Mode Xlusive

We get it Lena, you love your body! But why is it so hard for us to accept it!

It seems like we just can’t possibly fathom the notion that a woman, who doesn’t have the stereotypical Barbie shape that we associate to beauty, loves herself. The way she is. Do you see the disconnect here?

Why does this picture bother so many of us?

Lena Dunham is an American actress, author, screenwriter, producer, and director. She is best known for creating, directing and staring in the HBO hit series Girls. In this show, she is often seen either topless or exposing her body comfortably. She has really changed the landscape for women’s self-love with her laissez-faire attitude. We love and we approve!
