I have a teenager.
She is brilliant and funny, curious and magical….and so very good at being a teenager.
When I was a teenager, I was good at it, but only in person and on those really long phone calls when I yanked the kitchen phone (and cord) all the way in to my room. My parents didn’t love it, but that phone talking had nothing on the day-to-day world that is social media my teen (and 11 year old) experience.
This age is so vulnerable. They are so self-critical and so prone to feeling their self-worth plummet as they move from pre-teens to full blown teenagers.
Wouldn’t it be lovely if there was a social network dedicated to the encouragement and empowerment of young girls?
Good news – there IS.
It’s called Maverick.
While Maverick is not the first social network to join the fray, it IS the first of its kind – focusing on the beauty of heart, creativity, kindness and confidence of the young women of Gen Z all while connecting them with women innovators, artists and entrepreneurs.
As a mom, this is another opportunity – one in my girl’s very own language – social – to remind her of her gifts, talents and my pride in her authenticity.
Maverick embraces the YOU in unique for girls….right at the moment they need it most.
I love this! The world is so hard for kids, but it is especially hard for girls. We live in a society that STILL tells them every day that their worth begins and ends with their makeup, boobs, and butts. And these days, how many social media followers they have.
This is the best thing I have heard all day. It’s great that the kids have their own social media space.
This sounds awesome. Social media can be very scary for the younger ones so its great to have something like this available!
This is an awesome sounding app! Anything that inspires and encourages young girls is a YES in my book!
And she’s got the cutest freckles ever!!. What a great resource you have there for your girls.
My daughter is right in that teen zone and my son is not far behind. They are always on their phones on sites and facetiming so I love the idea of this Appp to optimize their social media time
If your teen child has their nose buried in their phone, and, let’s be honest: almost every teen does; what better way for them to have some social media interaction that’s uplifting and inspiring!
My daughters are 11 and 13 – and I can not tell you how much I truly love this! Being a teen girl is tough, especially these days, and positive empowerment is crucial.
Wow, I am surprised I hadn’t heard about Maverick yet. I love this so much. I am glad that there’s a positive network for girls, they need it in a world where there can be too much they don’t need to see or engage with on other social networks. This is so wonderful!
As the mother of a teen girl, I think Maverick sounds like an amazing app. Anything that supports empowerment and positivity in our girls is something we should encourage our girls to participate in. I’ll be sure to share it with my daughter and her friends.
This is really awesome! Such a great way to boost girls’ confidence!
It’s a great way to empower teens and boost their confidence. This is definitely something that they’ll easily understand and enjoy. I think it’s important to have this as well.
Wow this app is pretty cool. We aren’t there yet with the social media, but I need to pass this info along to my friends!
