MEET THE CREATOR
Ashley Tobias [THATGIRLTOBI]
Growing up as an adopted kid, I always felt like I didn't quite fit in—my curly, frizzy hair and darker skin made me stand out. Bullied for looking different, I found refuge in music, which became my escape and source of strength.
After graduating from Montclair State University in 2010, I toured with children's musicals, spreading messages of acceptance and self-belief. But it was during a world tour with Green Day's American Idiot in 2012-2013 that everything changed.
My mom, a kindergarten teacher, suggested I use my talent and connection with kids to create an assembly program. That sparked the idea for BEE TRUE TO YOU—a program dedicated to helping kids embrace who they are, just like I had to learn to do.
And that's how it all started!
WHY BULLYING?
When you commit to creating positive change in the classroom, or even workplace, taking direct action against Bullying not only prevents negative and toxic behaviors, but it is the core element to understanding ones truth.
BULLYING PREVENTION STARTS WITH SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING.
Pledging and creating a school-wide Anti-Bullying initiative provides students with useful tools and strategies to nurture core emotional skills, strengthen their character, boost their confidence, and create enriching, positive and respectful communities for themselves and their peers.
These skills, which are taught during a child's adolescent years, enables children to become socially competent citizens. Connecting and staying on top and aware of bullying in your school environment, is the KEY to 'Being True" to yourself.
That is what founder TOBI has discovered during her visits to schools, from her own personal experiences as an adoptee and THAT is what Bee True To You is all about.
