In a world flooded with magazines focused on appearance, a groundbreaking publication has emerged, aiming to inspire girls beyond their looks. This initiative began when a mother named Clara was searching for engaging material for her daughter. “I was shocked to find that the magazine aisle was so disheartening for girls,” former magazine editor Laura Jensen shared in an interview. “Every magazine featured articles on beauty tips, etiquette, and girls on the cover wearing makeup.”
Determined to provide a better alternative, Clara and her daughter set out to create a magazine that would empower young girls. Their project, which they named “Brave,” turned out to be a monumental success in crowdfunding, achieving remarkable results in just a month. Whether you are five or fifty, “Brave” aims to inspire every girl to be “strong, intelligent, fierce, and authentic.”
“We need to show our girls that they have endless possibilities. They can be loud, adventurous, and curious about anything—science, art, engineering, you name it,” Laura emphasized. “I want to equip girls with the confidence to dream big, explore their interests, and ask questions.”
Laura’s extensive background in journalism, including roles at various lifestyle magazines, gave her the experience needed to launch this project. The duo’s Kickstarter campaign quickly gained traction, revealing the widespread desire for a magazine that truly resonates with young females.
The inaugural issue of “Brave” is packed with exciting content, including DIY boat-building guides, a maze inspired by swimmer Anne Marie’s journey from Cuba to Florida, science experiments, and much more. So, how did young girls respond to the first issue? You can see their reactions in the charming video below.
“Brave” is available for order online or at select bookstores. For those interested in the topic of home insemination, check out our post on the at-home insemination kit.
