Who is Lenora???

1. I am a classically trained vocalist--singing is truly my first (creative) love. 

2. I hate sleeping in the dark. I have a horrible habit of leaving my bedroom lights on at night ever since I was I child. 

3. I studied journalism in Croatia and Slovenia, where my childhood dreams of being a princess were completely shattered after touring SEVERAL dingy castles. 

4. I was once crazy enough to get on a flying trapeze--in the freezing rain. 

5. I moved to New York City with one bag and my laptop before I soon realized that is really all I need in life. 

6. I secretly want to be a DJ for a living.

7. Goldfish scare me. 

8. I am obsessed with really bright colors.

9.  I have had a total of 4 broken bones (long story). 

10. Hip hop is the soundtrack to my life. 

I started Dare Me Beautiful (aka DMB) as a means of empowering other women to accept themselves and their bodies after I struggled with self and body image for many years. I have since discovered I am the shit, and I believe every women deserves to feel the same. Consider me part  beauty blogger, part body activist, full-time opinionated. Welcome! Sit back, relax, and get free.
