"Express Yourself feels like a conversation with someone who really
gets you--that wise and compassionate friend whose advice is always
on target. It serves as a road map for teens to learn to take up
space with their voice. That is a concept society works very hard
to get girls to unlearn, but thankfully Roberts created a
phenomenal guide to keep them in the practice of speaking their
truth. Parents and educators will find this book to be a wonderful
resource for the girls they care about as they transition into
outspoken, confident young women."

obstacles that come with it."

humor, real talk, and research from which every girl can benefit.
This book reminds young women of their power and influence, all
while providing tried and true strategies for how to be the
happiest, healthiest, best versions of themselves. It's fun,
practical, and most definitely worth the read."
--Lexie Kite, PhD, codirector of Beauty Redefined Foundation
"In short, Express Yourself is excellent. Roberts provides
practical skills and assertiveness-building exercises for teen
girls--an audience who so desperately needs more voices telling
them how to effectively stand up for themselves and why it's
important to do so. Any girl who reads this will walk away with new
positive communication techniques to implement in her life."
--Ami Kane, MPA, development director at the Girls Empowerment

can be complicated for teenagers. In Express Yourself, Emily
Roberts breaks down the barriers with actionable tips and advice
every teen needs. From e-mail etiquette to social media and dating,
Roberts offers sage advice teens can relate to. Written for teens
yet valuable for parents, this is a coffee table book to leave
around your home in the event your teen needs guidance she is
hesitant to seek from you. Confused? Frustrated? Overwhelmed?
Afraid? Just ask Emily. Then Express Yourself."
