How many times have we heard "empowering girls and women?

When I was young, these statements raised a question in my little head: Does it mean that I NEED empowerment to be equally strong as boys?
Don't get me wrong! I wholeheartedly support all efforts to empower marginalized groups.

But also want every young girl out there to recognize the boundless power that already resides within them!
In this book, we begin by defining "empower" as its general meaning; as we journey together, get ready for the delightful twist: It's not about giving power; it's about revealing the incredible power they already have within!

My inspiration for writing this book is the "Women, Life, Freedom" movement, in which Iranian women who grew up in a culture that tells them "women can't" played an essential role in the movement that spread the word. In the author's note, I wrote about this movement to introduce it to non-Iranian girls and inspire them.

Our NGO's goal is to cultivate compassion and self-love in children. Our main focus is to bring every child to see the true light and loves that they are truly inside.

My strongest desire for creating these apps and books is to ensure that what I need to know as a child to grow from emotional pains into a happy and joyful state is accessible and free for young people.
