POSH DRESSES supports anti bullying campaign

Models: Keilana, Nicole, Chancey


A chance for a DREAM PROM
To create awareness and dialogue about bullying in schools and in the workplace. We urge the public to get involved and get their children involved in the conversation about bullying in the workplace, schools, and in life in general. Bullying can sometimes also happens at a party or a networking event and even at the grocery store. We all know it happens on Facebook and other social media where we refer to it as cyberbullying.
The prize for the contest will be a prom dress donated by @Poshdresses, a team of a hair stylist, makeup artist, and mani, pedicure, and shoes for the night of the prom will be all donated by the community. 
We are still in the process of getting all the sponsorships and hoping that if this story gets picked up by the media or the paper, that the community of Nova Scotia will get involved. 
If you have experienced bullying or cyberbullying in the past and are graduating in grade 9 or 12 and are in need of a prom dress, then this is a platform for you. We are looking for your story. The story has to be a true story and describe your feelings and experiences of how life has been for you at school. All names of the bullies and schools will be anonymous at your request, or they can also be accountable if you wish. There will be a panel reviewing the letters with us so that all submissions will be treated fairly.
We know it is hard to talk about it, but children and parents cannot be silent anymore. We must speak out!

Special thanks to our sponsors who believe in this cause.

 RULES:


*You must be graduating grade 9 or 12 attending semi-formal or prom in need of a prom or semi-formal dress.
*A true story of your bullying experience at school emailed to mekizo@keikaikoa.com
*All submissions are reviewed by a
panel in mid-April.
* Participant picked at the end of April.

Am I too sensitive? Aren't You?

Am I too sensitive? Yes, I do take things personally for example when a person calls you fat to your face or when they laugh, and gossip behind your back and you find out about it, are you telling me you are not offended? Hurt perhaps? That is complete baloney! You hear that you have too much time on your hands and that you always need attention? I have never met anyone that didn't want or need to be noticed, but I hang out with entrepreneurs and artists, so we need to be seen, or the business doesn't work. Also most people I meet come from dysfunctional families, oh and every one of us came from one, whether we like to admit to it or not. I try to incorporate kindness, mindfulness also integrity in everything I do. I am not the type of person who cheats and steals when I know the person needs my help, I am usually the first person to encourage and get people together. I hate drama, but I love it too! As Filipinos, we love our teleserya, and telenovelas (TV Dramas) What is

What is a prank phone call?

Photo was taken by  +Krista Corcoran This photo was given to us by our good friend for Christmas a few years back. But do you see that they are children and innocent in the ways of the world?  They are sweet loving children even our dog is terrific, and I am not just saying that because they are mine. They don't belong to me but they belong to themselves, I always say they belong to me, but really they are not things to be owned. They are my heart and my everything. A few years after this photo is now my daughter attending a different school in the new institution we call junior high. My husband and I are away for our trip to celebrate our 19 years of being together as a couple. We arrive from our trip in the middle of the night, and the children happen to be staying with our family. I sneak in beside my daughter and fall asleep beside her, and within a few minutes of snuggling close to her, I notice she is shivering. Sounds came out of her that I had never heard before, not e
