Keke Palmer and other influential women were spotted in Times Square earlier today for DOVE's 3rd Annual Self-Esteem Weekend. See the pics and find out about the event inside.....
Actress Keke Palmer joined hundreds of girls and their mothers in Times Square today to kick off the 3rd Annual Dove Self-Esteem Weekend. The nationwide rally hopes to spark an open discussion among women about self-esteem, confidence and beauty:
Keke talked about her own struggles recently saying, "Even though I'm in the industry and I act and all this stuff, I still suffer from self-esteem issues ... from the way that I look or the way that I talk ... just nitpicking at myself." She hopes that young girls can "...find healthier ways to have a relationship with beauty and not to have so much anxiety about living up to other people's expectations."
Also, DOVE wants to encourage women to speak to the young girls in their lives to create an open dialogue this weekend and beyond.
During the event Keke posed with Dr. Mona Gohara, Alexis Tirado, Toni Blackman and Jess Weiner.
Fab, grown & using her celebrity for good. Loves it.
