Raw Beauty Talks Society
We believe that youth are the future and that in order to re-write the script for the next generation we have to start young. RAW Beauty Talks Society was created to raise funds and provide mentorship for organizations and initiatives that give girls and boys the super powers of self-esteem, confidence, personal growth and media literacy.
