Beautiful Confidence at Your Core (BCYC) is a concept, a process and a program to help girls and women engage their imagination, discover their inner beauty and wisdom, and apply this awareness in the ways they express themselves to others.
BCYC is the product of a beautiful friendship and professional “marriage” of two professionals: Dr. Miriam Franco, a Psychologist, Professor of Sociology and a Guided Imagery expert and Beke Beau, M.A., a renowned make-up artist who teaches a college course on The Sociology of the Beauty Industry. Both Dr. Franco and Beke Beau were struck by research findings documenting how often girls and women do not feel they look good and how quickly this leads to under performance in academic and vocational pursuits (American Association of University Women, 1990; Wolfe, 1992; Garner, 1997; Johnson et al, 1998; Real Girls, Real Pressure, A National Report on the State of Self-Esteem, 2008).   Further, they found that many girls and women often lack authentic ways to communicate with other women about how they feel about their abilities and their appearance. Responding to societal pressures, they tend to seek a unitary or perfected image of beauty, strength and confidence.
Dr. Franco and Beke Beau designed the BCYC Program in which participants first practice gentle yet powerful Relaxation and Guided Imagery exercises to lower stress and self judgments of who they ought to be. This allows girls and women to interact with their own images of self in process. The creative make-up visualization exercises teach women how to integrate this self awareness into the way they approach beauty and represent their personal strengths and attributes in make-up and body stance.  The program consists of three workshops each focused on embracing self acceptance, accessing inner strength and confidence and practicing expressing these acquired skills.
It is Dr. Franco’s and Beke Beau’s hope to provide BCYC to girls and women in various stages of life and life transitions. They plan to offer BCYC to minority women in transitional housing and vocational programs, women in prison, girls first approaching use of make up, mothers and daughters groups, after school programs, women in industry, women recovering from cancer and to the public at large.

This is the perfect blog for anyone who wants to know about this topic. You know so much its almost hard to argue with you (not that I really would want…HaHa). You definitely put a new spin on a subject thats been written about for years. Great stuff, just great!
You may have not intended to do so, but I think you have managed to express the state of mind that a lot of people are in. The sense of wanting to help, but not knowing how or where, is something a lot of us are going through.
