Blah to Fierce: For Women Who Are Stuck in a Rut (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781938563171)

Pegged a Girls Advocate, Shekina Moore, Ed.S., is the visionary behind the Fierce Girl Empowerment Movement TM ( F.I.E.R.C.E. G.E.M.). She believes helping to develop healthy esteem and positive body image in girls is the key to tapping into their leadership capacity. She holds three degrees and worked extensively in the school systems of North Carolina. All the years working with youth, Shekina began to notice that girls really did not have a voice. Too often, as she experienced, we fail to recognize girls for their invaluable contributions, placing too much emphasis on their physicality. One day Shekina was watching a documentary on girls that sparked something in her. Where are the voices? Who is standing up for our girls? Answering that call, her movement includes the Tween Star AwardsTM (a platform that is showcasing and celebrating tween and teen girls who are shining in their communities), the Fierce Challenge TM, Tween Style Power TM, G.E.M.'s Annual AuthenticiTea & Social and Blah to F.I.E.R.C.E. TM The Live Event. A seven-time personal development Author, Shekina was named one of 52 Empowering Women Who Empower Girls along with The One World Doll Project's Stacey McBride-Irby, HGTV Property Virgin's Egypt Sherrod and WNBA President Laurel Richie. Featured in a host of publications, radio and TV shows, Shekina was also selected as a national semi-finalist for Proctor & Gamble's My Black Is Beautiful Ambassador Search (2014) and is listed among the Who's Who in Black Atlanta. A wife, mom, mentor and big sister to many girls Shekina likes to bake, read and spend quality time with her family.
