Whatcha Say: Lisa Guerrero

I didn't have a Mom to teach me the ways of beauty. But, I had an amazing Dad who loved me and didn't care what I looked like and so I kind of got the message that it doesn't matter what you look like.

You don’t need make up to be beautiful, you don’t have to shop at expensive places to look good. Your beauty is something that’s inside of you and not on the outside of you.

So, my Dad really taught me that (lesson) and gave me an enormous amount of strength. I came away from that part of my life thinking that it kinda doesn’t matter what I look like. It’s more about my Dad putting me in sports and how my body works as an athlete not, ‘am I cute to boys?’.

So, I got a very different perspective growing up, I think, than other girls did. And, for that (topic of body image), I really think I was given a huge blessing.
