In "An Hour With Her," Dove Real Beauty Productions tells the story of inspiring women who mentor girls to build their self-esteem. From an early age, Chelsea was bullied about her looks, driving her to feelings of anxiety and depression. As a teen, she found hope in the Dove Self-Esteem Project, which she credits with helping her break through years of self-doubt to embrace her natural beauty and gain the confidence to follow her dreams.
Now a successful actress, Chelsea wants to help young people reach their full potential. She spends an #HourWithHer with Caralyn, a talented high school actress whose confidence in her own beauty has been shaken by cyberbullying. In their powerful #HourWithHer, Chelsea shares her emotional journey, inspiring Caralyn to step into the spotlight.
That’s my measure of self-esteem now – how do I feel about myself, when it’s not based off of anybody else’s standards.
Chelsea
Beauty is not really a physical feature you can have. As long as you feel happy inside, that’s what beauty is to me.
