Disability becomes beauty becomes art becomes change
Programs & Events
Bold Beauty in Action began in 2020. Our vision is to reduce social isolation and build connections. We seek to connect our large model community remotely throughout the US. Our goal is to reduce social isolation and foster engagement by strengthening our social networks. We have notable women who are not BB models involved with our network.
Each month, we focus on a topic of interest, a guest speaker, or an open rap session like a virtual support group. We meet on the second Tuesday of the month from 5:30 pm-6:30 pm. For more information, contact Shelly Baer, Bold Beauty Founder at shelly@boldbeautyproject.com
