BULLIED
Sumer Strawbree teaches girls like her how she uses her inner-power to defeat school bullies by improving her self-confidence.
However, this wasn't always the case...
Her dad began to notice that she wasn't smiling big for pictures anymore like she used to and he asked her why. He was able to discover that kids were making fun of her two front teeth that grew back in crooked.
As a result, it took a negative toll on her mental health.
Sumer Strawbree didn't realize that she was being bullied until her dad pointed it out that other kids don't get to make fun of her physical appearance daily.
AFFIRMATIONS TURNING POINT
He introduced her to positive “I am” affirmations to rebuild her self-confidence far past where it use to be during better times even.
He required her to say "I am" affirmations before leaving for school in the morning and in the evening before going to bed.
"I am Black, Brown, & Beautiful, I'm a Winner, I'm Leader, and I am Fearless!"
They took her negative experience and created a much needed mental health movement through a series of affirmations coloring books that are positively impacting girls of all races around the world.
Sumer Strawbree understands what it feels like to lose her self-esteem at such a young age.
MISSION
I help girls unleash the power of positive affirmations to improve their self-confidence.
"I Am"... is the Most Powerful Statement in the Universe.
VISION
That all girls will tap into their inner super power to improve their confidence.

SPEAKING
"I help girls with low self-esteem improve their self-confidence through positive affirmations"
On stage you will hear her asking her audience to repeat with her, "I am Black, Brown and Beautiful! I am a winner! I am a leader! And I am fearless!"
Or depending on the demographic of the girls she has them repeat another appropriate affirmation.
