A couple of weeks ago, I wrote an article about what it means to be bold, with the purpose of empowering young girls and gender non-conforming youth. After thinking about this topic in more detail, I realized that this is a message for everyone regardless of their gender, race, ethnicity, or background.
In my article, I defined being bold as:
“Cultivating confidence and courage to embrace all facets of our identity. It’s about being bold in your everyday actions and not limiting yourself. It is not mentioned enough, especially to young girls or gender non-confirming youth, that their identity is not singular. It’s multi-dimensional and can be a source of strength and power. Ultimately, if you cultivate the confidence and courage needed to embrace your identities, you can be your full self. Be bold so you can be anything and everything at once.”
Now that we have a clear definition of what it means to be bold, let’s discuss some of the benefits.
Being bold allows you to:

Being bold is not limited to the seven benefits listed above, the benefits are endless. I encourage everyone to take five minutes out of their day to think about ways in which they can Be Bold.
