On September 24th, T.E.E.N. DIARIES brings its “Project Butterfly” self-esteem program to New York City. The goal of PROJECT BUTTERFLY: New York is simple; focusing on health and fitness we aim to support First Lady Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move” campaign. 100 teenage girls will be granted a rare opportunity to communicate self-esteem issues with celebrity role models in an intimate setting. R&B recording artist and songwriter, Keri Hilson supports TEEN DIARIES’ “Project Butterfly” and has signed on as the official HOST of the event. Not only do Pretty Girls Rock, but Pretty Girls Sweat!
Through a series of open and honest workshops with others who share similar experiences, young women will discuss the media’s skewed perception of beauty, learn how to embrace their physical attributes, understand the importance of staying hydrated with water and stay active in various settings. “Incorporating fitness into your everyday lifestyle should not be a chore or a bore,” says T.E.E.N. Diaries Founder/CEO Aeshia De Vore Branch . “Highlighting the most entertaining ways to stay fit will encourage teens to erase their negative views of exercise.” By providing these young women with this platform, T.E.E.N. Diaries, in collaboration with The Society for Girls, Inc. , is able to empower our country’s future leaders by helping to strengthen both their inner and outer beauty. The high energy at Project Butterfly: New York is sure to be electric!

Project Butterfly will be held at an undisclosed location in Manhattan, NY on Saturday, September 24th at 930am.
