Maiara Walsh: Interview with Dolce Vita

November 23, 2009 · Filed under Blog · Tagged , , , ,

Maiara Walsh has also used her voice for good, dedicating her time to charities and causes she believes in. This past March she co-hosted Girl Prep, a youth conference sponsored by the In a Perfect World foundation and founded by the Young Women’s Empowerment Network. Workshops targeting self-esteem, leadership and youth activism were set up and 250 girls between the ages of 10 and 13 participated in the event. As a young woman working in image-driven Hollywood, Walsh identified with the girls. “I think self-esteem is important for everyone,” she says. “But I feel like the youth is so influenced right now by the media and the culture around them that they kind of forget what I think is important, which is valuing yourself and not needing to fit into this one image that most people can’t fit. They shouldn’t have to.”

Get empowered!  The Young Women’s Empowerment Network and In a Perfect World recently hosted Girl Prep, an empowerment conference for girls aged 10-13. What is an empowerment conference? Well, it involves celebs(!) and giving girls a chance to make a difference in their communities. The Girl Prep conference, which took place on March 28 in Hollywood, (hosted by Maiara Walsh from Corey in the House and Brando Eaton from Zoey 101!!) gave disadvantaged teen girls access to cool opportunities and a chance to meet cool celebs like Miley, Hayden, Jason Dolley, Corbin Bleu, and Carlisle, Jasper, and Emmett from Twilight (or rather, their real-life counterparts, Peter Facinelli, Jackson Rathbone, and Kelln Lutz)!
