What are your biggest challenges?

The biggest challenge for girls today is learning how to stay soft in a world that constantly forces them to be strong.

From a very young age, girls are taught to adapt—to protect themselves, to speak up when unheard, and to stand firm when support is missing. Strength becomes a necessity, not a choice. Over time, this survival mode is often mistaken for a loss of femininity, when in reality, it is a response to how society treats them.

What makes it harder is the contradiction: girls are expected to be independent yet gentle, bold yet agreeable, resilient yet warm. When they choose strength, they are judged. When they choose softness, they are seen as weak.

The real challenge is not becoming strong—it is finding a space where strength and softness can coexist without fear, where emotional safety allows girls to be their full, authentic selves without explanation or apology.
