Title:
Why thinking you're ugly is bad for you
Speaker:
Meaghan Ramsey
Description:

About 10,000 people a month Google the phrase, "Am I ugly?" Meaghan Ramsey of the Dove Self-Esteem Project has a feeling that many of them are young girls. In a deeply unsettling talk, she walks us through the surprising impacts of low body and image confidence—from lower grade point averages to greater risk-taking with drugs and alcohol. And then shares the key things all of us can do to disrupt this reality.
