We are thrilled to be featured in the latest issue of @strongmagazineforgirls. This amazing magazine provides great female role models & shines a light on ordinary girls doing extraordinary things! They interviewed Ranease Brown and Sophie Austin at Camp LiveGirl this summer. Check out the full story (#linkinbio) & subscribe at strongmagazineforgirls.com. (Excerpt from STRONG interview) Ray has been coming to Camp LiveGirl for three years, and it’s Sophie’s second year. Ray: “I first came in summer 2016 and I just fell in love with the camp. It’s so unlike any other camp because the main focus here is the girls. It’s about girls learning to be more confident, braver, and also empowering us to be future leaders of the world.” The week long camp is based in New Canaan, CT, and welcomes girls of middle school age from all over Fairfield County. Older girls who have graduated the program, like Ray, come back as counselors to help empower and inspire the younger girls. Each morning the girls hear from an incredible role model and speaker, and take part in empowering and team-building activities. On the day STRONG visited, a group of girls was taking part in a collaborative poetry workshop and another group was coding. In the afternoons the girls split into groups and take part either in performing arts or sports. Sophie: “I do the sports program in the afternoon. Each afternoon you do two things— for example soccer and basketball. It’s really good fun. We’re in teams so it’s competitive, but also just really relaxed and fun.” Ray: “We had Jessica Long, the Paralympic swimmer come in this week. She’s a bi-lateral amputee so she had lost both her legs. Her whole story was just amazing. She has won so many medals and just never let her disability get in the way of her dreams. Everyone here is just so inspiring.” Other speakers at the camp included Sarah Edwards—the female drag racer we featured in issue 5 of STRONG, a Rockette, and New York Times bestselling author, Lauren Oliver. “Lauren’s session was all about “How to Fail Better.” She talked about how failure is actually another word for practice because in order to get better you have to fail.

Find your voice. Use your vote. 🇺🇸 ***Are you registered to vote? We will have a voter registration booth at our Confidence Code for Girls event on 9/27 details in bio. *** Here are some important events in U.S. history that were decided by just a few votes: • Richard Nixon, not John F. Kennedy, would have become President of the U.S. in 1960 if one person from each voting place had voted differently. If just one U.S. Senator had voted differently. • U.S. President Andrew Johnson would have been removed from office in 1867. • Texas might not have become part of the United States in 1845 if one U.S. Senator had voted differently. You Can Make a Difference! Here’s how… • Play a role in choosing our leaders and changing our laws by voting. • If you’re 18 or older, vote in every federal, state, and local election. • Learn about the candidates and issues before you vote in any election. • Know what’s going on in your country and community. • Write letters to public officials about issues that are important to you. • Respect your right to vote! It’s a privilege that many people in the world don’t have. #vote #voterregistration #confidencecodeforgirls #civics #rockthevote #useyourvote #girlpower #strongertogether #futureisfemale #shevotes #getoutthevote
