Raven-Symone - Body Haters Don't Phase Her

Categories: Diet & Weight Loss, Fitness, Nutrition & Supplements

Raven-SymoneRaven-Symoné loves her body (she calls it thick and beautiful), and she doesn't care what anyone else says. Well, maybe she cares a little bit. But it doesn't take much to boost her confidence -- all the star needs is a chat with mom, who tells her she's very pretty. It's just what this 23-year-old That's So Raven star needs.

Other young girls who need a boost in the body image department are getting some help from Raven-Symoné during a Dove-sponsored self-esteem workshop the singer-actress is hosting for one-hundred 11- and 12-year-old girls. "It's going to be so much fun," she says. "We want to build their self-esteem and give them tools to face the world the next day without us there."

How does this former Cosby little girl face the world? "You just have to learn how to transform the pressures into something that doesn't soak into you on a personal level," she says. "You see it, you breathe past it, you don't let it sink into your self-esteem." Exercise helps too. And screaming doesn't hurt -- "At the end of the day I'll call my best friend and yell and scream and get it out," she says. "And the next morning, it's out of my system."
