Our friends over at Atmosea are in the process of organising a "JUST FOR FUN Parade" during the up coming Byron Bay Surf Festival.
Gathering as many women as possible to parade through the Beach Markets in colourful swim wear with face and body paint, to remind the world how amazing we women are.
Knowing that life in a bikini can be difficult when we are constantly exposed to images of the 'ideal' woman, Atmosea wants to make girls feel great about themselves - exactly the way they are - and would love for you to stand alongside and spread this message loud and clear.
MORE INFO BELOW:
The Design Kids will help us make quirky and engaging posters with important messages about women empowerment, we will make some noises with drums & maracas then end with a choreographed dance performance together.
Why is this important?
Times, they are a changing!! Just look at the incredible support and success of the Women' March in Sydney this weekend! We want to carry on with this message, especially at a surf event. The surf industry can sometimes feel very male-dominant and we want to show the world that we are just as capable. We want to be part of this global movement of Women Empowerment.
This is the challenge of our generation. It is not somebody else’s struggle, it is mine and yours to challenge and conquer....because we are the future now, and we are so capable of continuing with this incredible movement.
So... What do we want from you?
To get your girl tribe to join the fun!! We are going to make posters and props & practice some fun dances and simply hang out leading up to the Festival, so we can bring a MOB on the day to ensure we make a big, colourful, fun and positive statement.
We would really love for you to be involved.
