Community Engagement & Campaigns
At Boss Beti, we don’t just talk about confidence—we build it together.Because healing is louder in community, confidence grows when it’s mirrored back to us, and no one should have to carry the weight of rewriting narratives alone.

Building Confidence From the Inside—Even When You’re Still Healing Confidence isn’t just a vibe—it’s a process.

The Clothes We Wear: How Fashion Becomes a Form of Confidence
For many South Asian girls, the clothes we wear have never just been about personal style—they’ve been about approval. Cover up too much? You’re boring. Show a little skin? You’re shameless. Wear traditional clothes? You’re outdated. Wear Western ones? You’re “too modern.” No matter what we choose, someone always has something to say. But what if fashion wasn’t about being palatable to others? What if it was about feeling powerful in our own skin? Fashion has always been a form of expression—but for South Asian women, it can also become a bold act of rebellion, healing, and confidence. Clothes can help us feel rooted in culture, or help us break…
