NIGEL BARKER
TO HOST GIRL BE HEARD PARTY WITH A SPECIAL PERFORMANCE BY X FACTOR FINALIST 13
YEAR OLD BEATRICE MILLER
Girl
Empowerment Group Rebrands As It Prepares To Go Global
This
Monday, January 28, famed photographer, author, and personality Nigel
Barker will host the launch of Girl Be Heard (previously called Project Girl Performance Collective), at The Cutting Room
in NYC. The non-profit organization,
Girl Be
Heard, uses theatre as a vehicle
to empower young women (ages 12-21) to become brave, confident, socially
conscious leaders, while raising awareness about issues affecting girls. The
organization’s name change and rebranding reflects its rapid growth and
evolution from a grassroots, local NYC group to a global movement.
The
launch celebration will kick-off with a special performance by the members
of Girl Be Heard and X Factor
finalist, 13 year old Beatrice Miller, who “learned the power of speaking up” and honed her performance skills
as an alumni of Girl Be Heard and member since 2009.
Gloria Steinem, a long time supporter of the organization, invites the public
and the media to “join in the
truth-telling as told by clear voices of girls before pretense or pressure have
quieted them. They will inform, delight, alarm and help you to reawaken that
authentic voice that still lives within you."
