Why is the Beyond Fashion program necessary in today's world?
1.
In the 21st century, privacy has evolved into an immensely profitable asset. The escalating impact of social media and technology has enabled individuals to divulge their personal lives through previously unimaginable means. This program assists teens in comprehending the necessity of safeguarding physical intimacy, including their choice of attire, and underscores that its violation constitutes a fundamental breach of human rights.
2.
Advertising encourages women to feel bad about themselves. Rather than make her feel proud of each state in her life , they over sexualize young girls and encourage them to look older and sexier, while older woman try to look younger at any cost ! This confusion over how we suppose to look creates a poor body image with low self esteem. Low self esteem in teens can lead to early sexual activity and eating disorders.
3.
The media constantly teach teens to promote themselves as objects with images about retouched women that are beyond reality, in addition to reducing the attractiveness of women to a provocative part of the body, not being valued for their dignity as a human being. We are convinced that we are imperfect and in order to deserve love we must look as part of an unbalanced standard of beauty. This program for teens helps them to be aware of this reality.

As a pediatric nurse, I felt the need for a career change and decided to certify myself in Fashion Anthropology with Lula Kiah. This certification has completely transformed my life. Now, I greatly enjoy conveying this message to young girls. The initial impact was evident in my two daughters and their friends. The certification provides a broad and indepth range of books and materials. But that's not all, Lula has created a series of interactive and creative activities that turn learning into a game for the girls.

This certification is rooted in solid anthropological foundations and exceptionally addresses the topics of modesty and decency, intelligently applying them for the benefit of humanity and the reclamation of women's dignity. Young girls feel empowered and motivated to transform the fashion world around them. Initially, I took this certification to be able to discuss fashion matters with my daughter, but now I find myself teaching the course to hundreds of girls. It's my source of inspiration every morning. The certification is supported by presentations, interactive manuals, and books, making it a comprehensive and profound training.

Taking this certification has been an incredibly enriching experience. I didn't know how to approach the topic of modesty and decency with girls, and often they interpreted it as scolding or something outdated. Lula Kiah's approach in this certification is amazing, as she has managed to modernize the message and convey it naturally and joyfully through dynamics and games. I've loved the interactive activities, and the most valuable part is that it provides us with ready-to-use presentations and activities. This certification is highly effective; I'm already on my fourth group, and the girls come out motivated to share this message in their surroundings. It's incredible to witness the transformation process.

This has been the best fashion course I've ever taken in my life. As a designer, I was deeply concerned about fashion trends and their impact on the self-esteem and dignity of young women. This course has been a revelation, addressing the topic in a profound and meaningful way. Lula Kiah has brilliantly combined fashion with authentic values and the importance of modesty. The dynamic and interactive activities are exceptional, keeping everyone engaged and truly immersed in learning. I feel equipped with a new perspective and tools to guide young women towards a healthy relationship with fashion and a deeper understanding of their own worth. Thanks to this course, I'm confident that my work as a designer will take a more conscious and responsible approach.

It's astonishing how this certification has addressed an issue deeply rooted in Brazilian culture. In a highly sexualized environment, modesty often becomes compromised, reflected in the clothing choices of young girls from an early age. My concern about this situation led me to seek effective solutions. After completing this program, I've managed to persuade several people to opt for full swimsuits instead of bikinis and to avoid using shorts that resemble underwear. Furthermore, thanks to arguments supported by fashion anthropology, I've been able to engage in meaningful conversations with mothers, who hold influence over clothing choices for their daughters. The certification offers exceptional dynamics with innovative and creative ideas for interactive activities. I'm excited for the ongoing impact I'll be able to generate in my community, contributing to a more conscious and respectful approach to fashion among young women in Brazil.

The impact after the certification has been remarkable. The provided material is extremely professional and comprehensive, and Lula's generosity in sharing her knowledge is noteworthy. I truly believe that this certification has been absolutely worthwhile.
