- A little about yourself...
- My name is Kara Norman and I am a mother of two girls, ages 10 and 5. I've been married for 11 years to my wonderful husband. We live in the Atlanta area. I have longed to live a more fulfilling life in which I was able to work with women and girls. Being a part of this site is helping to make one of those a reality. Recently I partnered with a friend of mine and we are launching an empowerment group for pre-teens in the Atlanta area. I also serve as the moderator/facilitator of a new online social network for teens girls ages 12-18 called EMGirls http://emwomen.ning.com/group/emgirls.
Jewels is a subsidiary of G.E.M.S - Girls Empowered By Morals and Standards a charitable organization for teenage girls between the age of 13 and 17.

With this in mind if you know of any teen girls ages 13-18 who are in love with myspace or facebook, please send them my information and have them join EMGirls and new EMpowering group for girls!

Whether you are mom, checking out the group, or a young woman looking to connect with other girls with a passion to change the world, EMgirls is all about providing a positive place of connection, interaction, creativity, education, community service, and fun for teen and pre-teen girls that promotes a higher standard of living, purity, and excellence.

Together, we can reinvent the way girls and women think about themselves, and the way we look at others.
Interesting video about how the media influences our girls:
OUR MISSION: To EMpower Girls to recognize and fulfill their unique potential by instilling leadership skills, fostering critical thinking, supporting their individual potential, helping them overcome limiting behaviors, and by re-inventing "beautiful" as a word that describes the inner beauty of a girl as seen in her service and love for others. We believe that every girl has the potential to change the world, and EMgirls can help her do it! We encourage you to invite your friends to the EMgirls group and begin using your "online" time to make friends that make a difference!

Today's Perception of Beauty ~ Let's Change It!
Recent Blog I Wrote About the Media and It's Influences!
Hello Jewels Girls!
Take a good look at this photo from a Ralph Lauren ad. What do you think about the model in this ad? I was shocked and horrified that such a leading fashion designer would think that this ad is appealing to a woman/girl and would make her want to go out and buy this outfit!

Blog I wrote for Girls regarding Social Change:
Hi EMGirls/Jewels Girls!
I hope you all had a fabulous summer and are getting a great start to a new school year!
One of my favorite quotes is by Mahatma Gandhi which says “Be the change you wish to see in the world”. As a young girl and teen I struggled with feeling good about myself. I never tried new things or was the popular girl in school. I never… Continue

How Could We Forget ~ "Happy Women's History Month"
With a show of 'virtual hands' how many of you lovely ladies knew that March is National Women's History Month? Okay to be honest I almost forgot as well, which is truly a shame, but really how much do we hear about this wonderful month to honor, recognize and remember great women who have contributed to much to who we are today? Until a few years ago, I came across this information and was disappointed that it's not focused on more. I came… Continue

Love Shouldn't Hurt! ~ Protecting Our Teens from Abuse/Violence
I am shocked and horrified about the allegations that Chris Brown, a famous R&B Singer, was arrested for domestic violence against a female/his girlfriend Rhianna. As a mom, Chris Brown was one of the few singers that I felt had a pretty positive message compared to most of the songs that teens/pre-teens are listening to. So to find out that he is involved with any type of violence against a woman that he cared about is truly disturbing.… Continue

Beatrice C. said… - Hi Kara! I'm Beatrice. Here for all of the Moms interested in recovering their pre-child figure. My garments correct the posture, lift the breasts, flatten and strengthen the abdomen, eliminate all back fat as well as lift and firm the rear. With consistent wear, healthy eating, and light exercise, the garment will mold the body into a more appeasing shape. For more info feel free to message me or email me at ardyssintrep@yahoo.com.
Hope that you are enjoying Motherhood. :-)

Denise Honaker said… - Kara, Love your website. I so believe in helping girls see the beauty of who they are. With all the media they see everyday, it is easy to see why their confidence is lacking sometimes. I run a charm school for girls, and the main focus is for the girls to realize their true selfs and potential. It is so rewarding and fun to see the girls blossum into confident and happy young ladies. Keep up the great work.
Best, Denise
