Lydia Cross Mays, Founder of See Beautiful
05/11/2012In this interview, I had the opportunity to be inspired by the amazing words of Lydia Cross Mays, founder of See Beautiful. As a teacher, Lydia experienced the ways in which young girls struggle with seeing their own beauty. She wanted to change this, and thus, the See Beautiful movement was born. See Beautiful aims to remind people of the beauty that is inherent in this world through celebrating women and girls, sharing stories of individuals and non-profits that are doing amazing work with the world, and creating products that support the mission of seeing beautiful. Listen as Lydia and I discuss See Beautiful, being the change, and the impact of service and seeing beautiful in our lives.Listen to the show here
