Author and Former Texas Child Bride Dr. Trevicia Hosted Beauty Inside-Out to Mobilize Women and Reduce Teen Pregnancies in DFW: 25 Teen Girls will be Reached!

Dallas, TEXAS-Through the Millennium Professionals Magazine, Dr. Trevicia, a former Texas child bride, held Beauty Inside-Out: Fierce You 2012 on Wednesday, January 11, 2012 at the Galleria Holiday Inn for professional and entrepreneurial women in the beauty, health and wellness industries to come together for growth and empowerment while simultaneously making a meaningful contribution to the important need to support efforts to reduce teen pregnancies in Dallas Fort Worth, Texas. Texas is #3 in the nation for teen pregnancies and Dallas Fort Worth ranks astoundingly high for repeat teen births.

Twenty-five teen girls will be reached as a result of the January 11, 2012 event. The event empowered women through an energetic keynote speech by Dr. Trevicia, organizing strategies by professional organizer, Leticia Pfeiffer and ways to get healthy with Kellie Calabrese while providing women the knowledge, skills, tools, inspiration and motivation to make local communities more resilient through efforts to reduce teen pregnancies.  Women like Faith Egloff spoke from their hearts about the whole of the teen pregnancy experience. While stressing prevention, Dr. Trevicia talked about the difficulties that teen mothers face and how much those challenges are compounded with repeat pregnancies. “We have to educate, motivate and expose teens to positive role models. Through the grassroots project, Beauty Inside-Out: Fierce You™ we can succeed,” says Dr. Trevicia. Her goal for Saturday, March 3, 2012′s event is to provide free workshops to mothers and their teen aged daughters thereby increasing the effectiveness of the experience.

Beauty Inside-Out: Fierce You was an opportunity for the women to collaborate, build and grow professionally while supporting the ongoing efforts of Dr. Trevicia to provide free substantive educational workshops to mothers and their teen daughters during the most challenging years of their relationship. “I am passionate about helping mothers and teen daughters both get through the ‘I love you but I can’t stand you right now’ phase,” says Dr. Trevicia. With educational workshops ranging from $150-$295 per mother and teen daughter participant, financial limitations oftentimes become a barrier to mothers and daughters plugging into valuable workshops. However, with proud supporters like Elegant Minerals Make Up, Copper Top Mineral Make-up, and other entrepreneurial women and local businesses, I intend to eliminate that barrier, says Dr. Trevicia.

Beauty Inside-Out: Fierce You (TM) and Dr. Trevicia recently unveiled a campaign to deputize 500 professional and entrepreneurial women in the beauty, health and wellness industries to collaborate to inspire and educate teenage girls ages 13-18 and reduce teen and unplanned pregnancies in Texas. Helping Dallas Fort-Worth teenagers and families cope with the increased stress levels associated with peer pressure and self-esteem crisis.

Texas is second in the nation for teen pregnancies, and, every 10 minutes a child is conceived. According to the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy, only 40 percent of teenagers who have children before age 18 go on to graduate from high school, compared to 75 percent of teens from similar social and economic backgrounds who do not give birth until ages 20 or 21. Self-esteem is a crisis. A Dove study, Real Girls, Real Pressure: A National Report on the State of Self-Esteem, shows 7 in 10 girls believe they are not good enough or do not measure up in some way, including their looks, performance in school and relationships with friends and family members.

During the Beauty Inside-Out: Fierce YouTM Campaign, Dr. Trevicia Williams will energize women to get involved with the movement and sashay for a cause on January 11. Drawing from her own bounce back experience along with over a decade of academic studies in human behavior, she inspires people to think higher while teaching them how to overcome obstacles and become effective. Dr. Trevicia Williams will take snippets from her tell all book: There are Pearls in the Pain of Every Experience. It’s about currents of faith, hard decisions and perseverance and ways to bounce back from near life shattering experiences. It’s about faith and adversity and use of inner strengths. “I’m amazed when I hear the life stories of young women auditioning for shows like American Idol. Success requires an awareness of inner strengths and greatness,” says Dr. Trevicia Williams. “With the right perspective and positive attitude, any obstacle, barrier or life storm can be surmounted! Motivation and education helps stimulate awareness, raise living standards, improve choices and increase self-esteem: Beauty Inside-Out: Fierce You campaign does that,” says Dr. Trevicia Williams.

I Don’t Know How She Does It!

The Millennium Professionals Magazine is seeking Real Dallas Fort Worth working moms (corporate or entrepreneurial) who have stories similar to the story Sarah Jessica Parker plays a working mother in: “I Don’t Know How She Does It” features Parker as a working Manhattan woman narrating the action to the audience as she moves through professional and social dilemmas. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bn_OrhwIidA

The Millennium Professionals Magazine features working and entrepreneurial women in Dallas Fort Worth who struggle juggling the many roles they have across work, life and family but somehow manage to do it all! Vogue.com says: “
This fall, Sarah Jessica Parker stars as a frazzled and overextended wife, mother and career woman in the film I Don’t Know How She Does It. It’s a part, the actress says, that’s probably closest to her real life. So, how does she do it? We spoke to Parker (and several other hugely successful working mothers, including Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, artist Rachel Feinstein, makeup artist Gucci Westman, and Vogue Fashion Director Tonne Goodman) about how the role of women in society is always changing, and how they do their very best to keep up—and, more important, let go.”

Vitals for Entrepreneurial and Small Business Success in Difficult Times

It takes a “I’ll never quit” attitude and unshakeable determination to survive tough times. However, in today’s volatile market  entrepreneurs and small business owners need more than a winner’s attitude. Try these tough times strategies to help guide you:

1. Use Low Budget Marketing. When tough times hit, the marketing function of a business is the first to get cut. With less advertising and marketing, the funnel of incoming prospects is reduced creating even more revenue decreases and setting up a vicious cycle. The key to save any business in difficult times isn’t to reduce your marketing activities but to replace them with low-budget marketing strategies like public relations, comprehensive exposure through a low-budget publicity partner that offers multiple avenues of advertising for the right price, networking, public speaking, and more.

2. Focus on the Basics. When finances are not flowing like they have in previous years it’s an opportunity to get back to the basics. For example, get back to the fundamentals of marketing like honing your presentation skills.

3. Grow on mistakes. Don’t beat yourself up by constantly reviewing mistakes. Grow on them. It’s important to learn from them but don’t allow your analysis to become a paralysis inhibiting movement in a new direction.  Pick yourself up and move forward!

Work Family Balance: A Critical Key to Success

Get your family involved! Many women who are entrepreneurs is oftentimes the result of a need to provide additional support for their families. The question becomes whether or not it’s okay to get family involved?  Though women own their own business, they are not in business alone. Besides an excellent opportunity to spend time together and bond, allowing family to be involved with your buiness is not only a good show of support but also enables them to learn more about business.

Obviously, each business is different. However, most all businesses have hidden opportunities for an owner’s kids and spouse to get involved. Activities don’t have to be big to be meaningful. Things like allowing kids to put postage on envelopes, help to distribute fliers or label folders can be very rewarding. It also gives children a sense of accomplishment in helping. Involving your husband, even if he has his own career, in activities like brainstorming new creative ways to grow,  new products to add to existing line or marketing strategies can be beneficial. These small but simple steps and levels of involvement by family members makes your business a family business.

In Focus

According to the Family and Work Institute “as students transition from elementary to high school to college, each step brings with it the fresh sigh of newly found freedom. The tight grip of class attendance releases, students’ preferences of class schedules become more powerful, school and social become increasingly intertwined. Students’ agency in how they spend their time grows in parallel to their ability to make good decisions in the matter.

This timeline of growing freedom is only supposed to continue after school.  Workplace flexibility is more than flextime and telecommuting. It’s a much larger presence of flexibility in when, where and how we work that allows employees to manage their work and personal/family life with significantly less conflict. Flexibility leaves employees more engaged, satisfied, healthier and likely to stay with that employer. Just as the working world is realizing the necessity of workplace flexibility, many also see its inherent value as a part of my working life.”  More at http://familiesandwork.org/blog/
