Hey all: This network is meant for girls and women who are a part of the getting REAL movement. We want to keep the girls we meet at our live events feeling comfortable joining this network and being REAL. So we ask that anyone who joins not abuse this network or contact members outside of the getting REAL message and mission. Thanks for understanding and for staying REAL! xoxo

We want to hear how you're getting REAL and how you're changing your world (inside and out). Click the Join Now link on the far right to stay connected to the Getting REAL movement and to connect with other REAL models!

SPEAKERS
"Audrey and Courtney effortlessly inspired more than 500 young women at our Annual Spirit of Leadership Conference to 'Be real!' Their ability to engage each and every young woman in the room was exactly what we had hoped for -- and they than delivered! More than any keynote speakers we have ever had, they became an intimate part of our family. We consider ourselves blessed to have Audrey and Courtney as future partners in empowering young women."
—Ken Druck, founder, Jenna Druck Foundation

“Courtney Macavinta and Audrey D. Brashich are a dynamic team of presenters. Their workshop, Getting REAL, was perfect for a college audience. The workshop participants were enthralled by their visual medium and touched by their personal stories. We all walked away both wiser and stronger in resisting media pressure to internalize toxic prescriptions for ideal womanhood.”
—Dr. Elena Klaw, Director of the Center for Community Learning & Leadership, San Jose State University


“The Getting REAL tour presented by Audrey Brashich and Courtney Macavinta is an empowering experience for teen girls. Through honest discussion and fun activities girls learn to set boundaries, build supportive relationships, evaluate media hype and ‘get real’ about body image. This workshop is an invaluable learning opportunity for parents and teens.”
—Michelle Barrese, Head of Youth Services, Menlo Park Library



ALL MADE UP

"All Made Up puts fame, glamour and beauty in perspective while encouraging girls to feel good about themselves exactly as they are.”

—Mariska Hargitay, actress, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit



“Audrey Brashich gives readers the inside track on celebrity and beauty. She’s an amazing guide for girls and women in our media-saturated times.”

—Nancy Gruver, founder & CEO, New Moon Magazine for Girls



“All Made Up is an invaluable resource for teens (and the adults who care about them!) who are ‘All Fed Up’ with unhealthy media pressures.”

—Dina Zeckhausen, PhD, founder, The Eating Disorders Information Network



"This vitally important, engaging, and illuminating book offers girls insight into the harm done by celebrity hype. Even more important, it gives them the tools to fight back and inspires them to celebrate positive role models and real beauty. Required reading for girls and everyone who cares about them."

—Jean Kilbourne, author, Can't Buy My Love: How Advertising Changes the Way We Think and Feel



RESPECT

“The best book of its kind that I've read—by FAR!”

—Carolyn See, reviewer, The Washington Post



“Respect inspires girls to replace self-doubt with far more powerful beliefs: self-respect, sisterhood and social change. The authors offer young women both advice to live by and tools to spread the word.”

—Peggy Orenstein, author, Schoolgirls



“Great book! A thorough guide that both parents and girls will love.”

—Rosalind Wiseman, author, Queen Bees and Wannabes & founder of the Empowered Program



“Respect should be on every girl’s nightstand—right next to her diary.”

—Peggy Klaus, author, Brag!



“Respect is not just another teen advice book—it is a roadmap for life.”

—Andrea Frank Henkart, author, Cool Communication



“It is imperative that every mother and daughter, sister and best friend read this book! Bravo!”

—Jessica Weiner, author, A Very Hungry Girl & Do I Look Fat in This? & Self-Esteem Expert for the Tyra Banks Show
