It is possible to have both a home and a journey.

"The truth is, the most effective way to inculcate in our daughters a fighting chance at life-long self-love and empowerment is not in the books we read to them, or the workshops we send them to, or the media we do or do not expose them to, or even the things we tell them, rather it is in the reflection of self-love and empowerment they see in us, their mothers.

The model of our own empowerment gives our daughters permission to be powerful. Of course, culture and societal norms mold our view of ourselves as women, but the beliefs and behaviors of our mothers are far more influential."

Growing Up Girl began years ago as a portrait and storytelling project exploring how growing up female shapes who we are—and who we become.

I’m grateful to be returning to this work with renewed clarity, a new visual identity, and a broader vision for where it may lead.

More to come.

Jennifer Aniston is set to star in and executive produce the TV adaptation of Jennette McCurdy’s powerful memoir "I’m Glad My Mom Died," and she revealed why the project feels so personal to her. Aniston shared that she and McCurdy “had very similar moms,” both growing up with complicated, critical mothers who shaped their childhoods. She praised McCurdy’s courage and writing, calling her “so special,” and said she was immediately drawn to the role when it came her way. The upcoming Apple TV series will explore McCurdy’s real-life story of resilience, with Aniston stepping into the role of her mother.
