The best way to understand confidence is to see it in action.

From Bali to Brazil, South Africa to Seattle, Australia to Afghanistan, these girls took risks, doubted themselves, and sometimes failed. But they also hung in there when things got hard. Along the way, they discovered what matters to them: everything from protesting contaminated water to championing inclusive books to the accessibility of girls’ basketball shoes, and so much more. 

Different goals, different stories, different personalities, all illustrating the multitude of ways to be confident in the world. 

Packed with photos, graphic novel strips, and engaging interviews, Living the Confidence  Code proves that no matter who you are, or how old you are, nothing is out of reach when you decide to try. Join this growing global community of powerful girls and imagine—what would you like to do, once you tap into your confidence? How will you write your story?
