London, England — Award-winning author Nkechie Ilori (“Now: The Journey to Healing after Losing a Loved One”) launched a campaign on the crowd-funding site Kickstarter today. Starting from $25 for the super early bird special, the three books in one series, A Bold Girl is Who I Am! is a rare gem that seeks to help teen girls build resilience, strength and direction. For early campaign supporters, there is a rare opportunity to have a three-book collection that represents power, goodness, and joy with a distinct color symbolism.

A Bold Girl is Who I Am! is a beautiful marriage of inspiring content, clever design, and witty insight. This 3-in-1 book series is written to explore the vast landscape of emotions that adolescent girls experience – from tragedy and despair to joy and elation. Though it touches on the hardships many young women face, it more importantly provides a heartfelt look at the other side, the light at the end of the tunnel. This approach was carefully chosen to help reduce the allure of suicide attempts, suicides and self-harm so many adolescent girls experience.

Nkechie Ilori explains, “I want the world to see the pain, the beauty, the reality of growing up female. I want people to understand a young woman’s powerlessness AND unwavering strength. A Bold Girl is Who I Am! is my way of speaking out on their behalf, and to them.”

The three books were written after careful analysis of teen girls age 12 to 19. In a survey of 333 young women from 11 global ethnicities, the following was determined:

•  Well over half of the respondents wish to change their physical appearance, namely their physique;

•  A staggering 56% of the girls report that they do not love themselves; 25% said they do love themselves; and the remaining 19% weren’t sure;

•  Nearly 2/3 of the respondents (71%) indicated that they do not talk to their parents about how they feel.

Understanding these statistics underscores the importance of this campaign for Ilori. Having grown up feeling disfigured herself, she continues to struggle with body image and self-confidence. As she raises her own family, she feels a pressing need to help other girls and women discover and accept who they are – which is the essence of the Bold Girl! movement.

“Discovering you is a lifelong exercise,” explains author Nkechie Ilori. “When you find you, understand you and love you, then it becomes absolutely easy to become a person of influence. This is a gold mine! You can literally become anything, go anywhere and revolutionize your world when you decide to become a force of influence.”

About the author: Nkechie “Emma” Ilori is the author of “Now: The Journey to Healing After Losing a Loved One” and “A Bold Girl is Who I Am!” She resides in London, England with her spouse and children. Her journey toward self-acceptance began in early childhood when she was bullied due to her own appearance. She understands the emotional trauma that such teasing can cause, and wants to help other young women overcome their own challenges.
