Pretty Powerful? You BET!

“I believe that beauty comes in all ages, colors, shapes and sizes,” says Bobbi of her inspiration for Pretty Powerful. “It’s not about looking like someone else or trying to be someone you’re not. It’s about figuring out what works for you.” She adds: “Being Pretty Powerful is much bigger than beauty. It’s about confidence and the path you take to achieve it.”

Bobbi Brown's Pretty Powerful campaign has got to be one of my favorite beauty campaigns simply because it encourages all women to celebrate them -- not a product or a trend -- but the individual.

For Pretty Powerful 2.0, Bobbi handpicked 30 women, from across the globe and a multitude of backgrounds, careers and lifestyles.

When Glam reached out and asked me what I thought made me Pretty Powerful I thought hard, too hard as a matter of fact. It wasn't up until I overheard a conversation my mother was having on the phone where she put things into perspective. So, taking what my mother said and adding a few more, here is what contributes to my beauty and help with my inner confidence:

1. Determined: I don't give up until I succeed

2. I measure success on my own terms NOT what other think or want it to be

3. Fiercely loyal: once I'm on your side, I'm there through thick and thin

4. I'm not afraid to do things alone, despite what my friends may think

5. I want the best for those around me and will try my hardest

6. Humor: I'm not afraid to laugh at myself, crack jokes to break the ice or tell really horrible stories in an attempt to make others laugh.

7. I have the biggest smile ever: when I was younger I used to be ashamed of just how wide I grin (odd, right?) but now you can't stop me baby!
8. Ambitious: pretty self explanatory!
9. Educated: I pride myself on being the first in my family to graduate college. Being first generation American, I knew it was not only important for me to finish school my own well being but I wanted to make my mother proud.
10. I don't let my surroundings define who I am. Am I from the best part of Brooklyn? No. Did I let that stop me? HELL NO! I think it's important to know remember where you came from but don't let that hinder you from becoming something great
