For 12 years, Jenelle Thompson fought an ugly battle with not one, but two eating disorders. Her fixation to be super thin nearly cost her her life. Although Jenelle was very successful in both her modeling and acting career, she had extremely low self confidence.  She constantly compared herself to others she saw as prettier and more desirable.

Jenelle began the saying  the phrase "Confident in my skin" to embrace the uniqueness in which God created His daughters.  We have been created in His imagine and He made us exactly how He needed.

Because of the direct impact the media plays on how our young girls perceive themselves, many are ashamed of their beautiful features that God gave them so they try to change to fit into society. I challenge young ladies to find the beauty within herself so she will be able to share her confidence with the world.

Be sure to check out this week's episode as Jenelle teaches us what it means to be confident in our skin!
