Beauty From Within is a ministry based out of Pasadena, California, headed up by one fearless lady with a passion and a plan: to educate and inform individuals throughout this nation and this world about the need to be literate and aware of how the media influences, shapes, and warps our concept of beauty.
Joined by a rapidly growing army of friends and folk who share the same hopes and desires, Amy Kaherl is working to help others understand that beauty is a far more subjective thing than it's given credit for in this world. Magazines, movies, newspapers, the Internet, and television are all used to inform us that there is a singular ideal of beauty, and that those who do not fit neatly within the prerequisites and rules set up to define "beauty" are less than "perfect", and are worth less than those with acceptable body types.
Truthfully, however, the human race cannot be divided into strict sections, ranks, and classes like animals, although many have tried throughout history to do so. Inevitably, people struggle against and break loose of that which binds them, telling them that they are worthless and less than human. We hope that Beauty From Within can help others to begin to break free from the rigid definitions of beauty that have virtually paralyzed the hearts of so many in our society today. We hope that, through education, encouragement, support, and solidarity, Beauty From Within can become a rallying cry of hope for the masses. May we all come to realize that we are, as individuals, truly beautiful, and truly of immense worth.
A message from Beauty From Within's founder, Amy Kaherl:
" I love that I have a chance to talk to people regarding how wonderful and amazing that they are. It is my goal to open the eyes of people who may be struggling with the lie that they have to look 'perfect' in order to be considered 'beautiful'. For me, BFW is a chance to educate others about media literacy through body and self image education. It rules, and I have already come to know so many incredible people. I am blessed."
