Did you know that according to a 2004 Global Study on Women, Beauty and Well-Being, over 50% of women say their body disgusts them? It is also interesting to note that after viewing images of female fashion models, seven out of ten women felt more depressed and angry than prior to viewing the images. (Source: Psychology Today)
Studies have also shown that low self-esteem “is a social epidemic that leads to introversion, a withdrawal from normal life and a waste of potential.”
I’m Sierra Sullivan, founder of The RAY and we’re on a mission to transform the way women feel about themselves. Through various media platforms in the areas of print, web, social networking, and live events we deliver inspirational and educational content aimed to raise women’s self esteem and elevate them to live their highest potential.
We believe it’s time to transform the inadequate concept of beauty that current media promotes while healing the consequent negative relationship women have to themselves.
