Motivate For Motivation Youth Health Walk for Anti-Bullying

My name is Neleh . I'am 11 years old Im almost 12. My friends and I started this ANTI-BULLYING, organization about 5 years ago . I'm very tall and thick for my age. My classmates and teacher were always shorter than me. My mom says sometime when someone is different people can be mean. Teachers always monitored my lunch portions or always thought I was supposed to be stronger than other 7 year old, because of my height.The kids picked at my long arm, long legs , thick waist and thick shoulders. I came home crying a few times my mom went in full super hero mommy mode. She reassured me that I was beautiful and the most beautiful princess of all the seas and the lands, and those kids were jealous because I look like a runway model.

My mom and I did a project to make me feel better . I wrote down names of people who shared these same attributes, I was struggling with. I wrote I have long dancing legs like Beyonce. I have a thick waist and cute in the face like Lizzo. I have strong shoulders with long arms like Serena Williams. I'm a tall like Venus Williams who's 6"1" or the girl version of Lebron James who 6"9" . Im practicing my gymnastics skills to be a gymnast like Simon Biles . I am working on being a world leader like Mrs. Michelle and President Barack Obama's. We than decided to put these name along with the attributes we share, on T-shirts. I wore one under my school uniform, at gymnastics, at church , tennis and ballet class everyday. It became a movement when my friends , teammates and coaches started asking me to make T-shirt for them. Other kids came to me saying they were hurting and being bullied . We formed Motivate For Motivation.

Motivate For Motivation youth organization the community started inviting us to events to tell about our organization or to sell T-shirts. Now we have friends all over world that help Motivate For Motivation stand up for Anti-Bullying/Anti-Violence. We go in schools, churches , community organization and host community events to share information about Anti-bullying, Anti-violence , good health, and building confidence in youth. Thank you for your contribution in helping us do our little part in this big world. You are apart of helping our youth find their confidence and their voice.

Kindly, Neleh Bella
