"My daughter really enjoyed being with her special group of friends and knowing that she is not the only one going through all the changes."
"It’s a great opportunity for girls to have a different lens to look at the world through. And I think it’s very powerful to see things and be presented with things in different ways."
"Hearing other people’s stories and struggles and realising I wasn’t alone with my own struggles to understand my daughter."
