Why Now?

Today’s generation is constantly looking for a community, a sense of belonging and love.  Turn on the news any given night, any city in the U.S. and you will no doubt find a troubling story about our teenagers.  Beauty and Love’s goal is to give every teen a sense of belonging, teach positive values, pride and self-worth.  Beauty and Love would like to change the way you see our youths today.  They are whole, perfect and complete.  They just need someone to nurture them and show them that they are beautiful and pure love.

Leisel “Q” QuamieAs a fashion stylist for some of the world’s most recognizable people, Leisel “Q” Quamie, Beauty and Love Foundation’s creator, feels a sense of responsibility when she dresses anyone for an event.

 

She understands the effects of popular culture, particularly fashion, on younger generations. Whether it be a photo shoot, video, magazine or a day at the office, young people (girls, in particular) study the images of celebrities and models. Oftentimes, unfortunately, young people cannot or do not differentiate between the character ("the dress/the look") and the person.

 

This is where Beauty & Love Foundation steps in. Building on the impact of 2006’s inaugural “Beauty & Love” teen summit, our goal is to help young girls and young women discover that a positive self-image does not begin or end with the media.

 

A positive self-image begins with self.
