I just watched this awesome video by 25-year-old singer/songwriter Caitlin Crosby. And especially as a mom of 3 girls I love this message: "Love your flaws." Caitlin's got a studio album Flawz and a new website, loveyourflawz.com, and it's striking a chord with young women in a big way.
When asked about her inspiration for her Flawz album, Caitlin says that self-image is only part of the big picture that she's trying to tackle. Some songs on Flawz address more upbeat topics, while others take on weighty subjects like racism, homelessness, and social hierarchies. Either way, the main agenda of Crosby’s message is what she calls a “re-brainwashing” effort.
She explains it this way: Young women are largely accustomed to gauging themselves by physical attractiveness; but through her work, she aims to help them reverse the damage done by years of media messaging.
“Find those things that make you feel alive. When you’re doing what you were made to do, you’ll feel a confidence that has nothing to do with outward beauty.”
Gotta' say I love that last quote the most! Hope you enjoy watching this as much as I did ...
