New image released by Jessica Biel on Instagram with the following caption : Today is International #DayoftheGirl ? and I'm proud to share my story in support of #TheGirlEffect. ? ? Society told me I was SUPPOSED TO be nice, be pretty, be sweet, be feminine. Instead, I CHOSE TO own my strength, cultivate my mind, and embrace my power.??? ? At a young age, so many girls are taught to be comfortable walking two steps behind their male peers. As someone who always identified in mind and body as an athlete --?that never made sense to me. Women are powerful and that's a great thing. Even though it scares the sh*t out of people.??? ? While the gender stereotypes have evolved and we've come a long way ? it's still so important for little girls everywhere to recognize that they are capable of everything - and more. We have to teach all children equality so that one day, girls will be represented EVERYWHERE that decisions are made. ? ? Tag just one friend who inspires you to share your SUPPOSED TO / CHOSE TO story. Why just one? Because when one girl finds her power to make different choices that change her life, it inspires others to do the same?and THAT changes the world.
