We are I Am BeYoutiful, and invite you to join us on International Women's Day for an afternoon of fun activities and empowerment, where you will be surrounded by inspiring women and leave feeling confident, knowing yourself, comfortable being and loving yourself, .
The future will be in the hands of you, the next generation of girls, that's why it's more important than ever that we encourage, inspire, nurture, empower and support you to succeed. That's why we've come up with a Girl’s Fun Day on International Women’s Day.
We all know what it's like to not feel beautiful, the research says it all, 61% of 10 to 17-year-old girls in the UK have low self-esteem and that’s exactly why we want to help girls to see the beauty inside themselves.
We're excited to introduce our yearly IWD event, full of fun surprises, tutorials and lots of interactive sessions, run by inspirational women to help you build your confidence.
This is an event not to be missed! An afternoon surrounded by role models. Come along and make friends, have fun and feel beautiful. All whilst enjoying music played by our female DJ, canapés, mocktails, cupcakes and nibbles.

Meet The Organiser, Ayla
Hi, I am Ayla. I started I Am BeYoutiful after learning to accept and love myself again from the trauma of losing my dominant hand in an accident. It was a tough journey, but my intentions were never for it to shape me negatively.
Over the years, I've learned a lot and grown in ways I could not have imagined. I now feel conformable in my own skin, but this was not the case for many years, and I am fully aware that many teenage girls in the UK do not feel this way.
A decade on and my mission is to share my experiences and infuse lessons of self-love and strength with my new found wisdom to as many teenage girls as possible. To empower them in life and raise their quality of thoughts, so they don’t waste years of their life feeling alone and not good enough, but enjoy a fuller, more beautiful and happier life, beginning right now!
If I can do it, so can you!

Discover Who You Are With Daniella
“If I were to ask you, ‘who are you?’ what would your response be? Think about it for a moment. Imagine that you have just walked over to me, and are about to introduce yourself. You say, ‘hello, I am….’. And I respond with the same. Except, I am not simply, “Daniella’. This tells you nothing about who I am, or what I believe. But you don’t ask. Neither do I.”
“The power of the first impression is important and the reality of how most of us operate as human beings. But question still remains, who are you? More so, who am i?” Get involved with a Who Am I fun activity, that enables you to figure out who you are. Something we all need to know to feel confident and own it! www.instagram.com/myreflectivejourney
