Hollywood into the hands of real women who are boldly expanding the definition of beauty in their communities. This
year, Real Beauty Productions is showing the incredible journey of women and girls who have been impacted by the
Dove Self-Esteem Project and the inspiring intergenerational connection each has made around beauty, confidence and
self-esteem. The four-minute first installment, directed by iconic dancer, choreographer, and actress Debbie Allen,
follows Chelsea Harris and Caralyn Singleterry whose shared journey of confronting appearance-related negativity
inspires each to embrace their beauty, develop confidence and reclaim their power.Girls today navigate a 24-hour pop-
culture, social media, always-on news cycle that can negatively impact their self-esteem. Dove research shows six in 10
girls believe that media and advertising set an unrealistic standard of beauty most women can't achieve.
