PROUD 2B ME

SFC Personally, I don’t think people want to search for

things. I like how the Proud 2B Me website uses buttons at the bottom of their home page. These buttons include: donate, join the nation, and stamp out. This allows to links to the resources that your website provides at many different locations on the page

Could create discussion forums that encourage support groups

Blogs: there is a link to your posts on the home page, but it isn’t that inviting. Spark attention. I believe that hearing our stories can be inspiring, convicting, supportive, and informative. Draw your internet viewers to your words because they hold weight.

SFC CONT. One thing I noticed is that Proud 2B Me

provides a lot of info. People are wowed by numbers and statistic, they want proof and they want to know they aren’t alone. Your studies are grounded in research, show that/ give links to that. (reference the real deal drop down tab)

I do like their use of Q&A. I think this is something that will allow you to make even the smallest difference and hook people into joining your program for long term help and counsel

SFG Everyone loves a quotable moment-Just a thought… put pictures of sticky notes on the page for SFG that girls have written or create your own with encouraging words Most of Proud 2B Me’s pages provide links to articles and

references for girls should be proud to be themselves, this includes: food, media, fashion, ect.

-Personally I want to see original work and I think that’s what you guys provide with your blogs and workout designs along with curriculum -Speaking of curriculum, the SFG site should probably be updated with how to become a coach, including things that your crowd funding video talks about I also like that they include interviews, you have some

footage for interviews, I think that is something you can put to use here

CONSIDERATIONS Here are some things that stand out to me on

the Proud 2Be Me website: -After looking through the website it is very crowded, I like that yours isn’t so don’t try to get too carried away. Draw the crowd in but don’t create one yourself-They seem to use a downstream approach

-it acknowledges viewpoints that are already developed and tries to fix stigmas that don’t include the viewers input, reiterate the autonomy that SFG/SFC creates and the fact that they are creating new norms/expectancies that advert from health problems
