Authentic You: A Girl’s Guide to Growing Up Fearless and True

I am fearless. I am powerful beyond measure.

Achea Redd lives by this simple mantra: Real Girls FART. Real girls are fearless and authentic in the way they live and embrace themselves, they rescue themselves and others when things get tough, and they aren’t afraid to trailblaze their way through life, doing what has never been done before.

These traits are the perfect ingredients for not just surviving, but thriving in adolescence. In Authentic You, Achea tackles tough topics like mental health stigmas, setting boundaries in your friendships and relationships, and balancing responsibilities. Each chapter breaks down the Real Girls FART acronym with special mantras to remind young teenagers of their power in every aspect of life.

Adolescence is a time of change, but change doesn’t have to be scary. With her signature realness, Achea breaks down the hardest parts of growing up, helping girls see through the challenges ahead to find in the midst of it their most authentic selves.
