Listen to literature produced by some of Danbury High School’s finest at Wordfest (hosted by Word warriors ) while promoting childhood and adolescent reading! We ask students to donate new and gently-used books appropriate for children and teens. Books in other languages are more than welcome. More to come!

Another year down! In 2025, Been Beautiful saw great advancements towards our mission through the launch of new initiatives and various events.

Our impact was also seen online, reaching tens of thousands of people on social media and our website. We connected with people from across the world, ranging from China, Ireland, Kenya, Ecuador, and more.

Thank you all—especially our amazing members—for following and supporting our journey. Stay tuned for more in 2026, and stay beautiful!

It's good to care for others, but you also need to remember to care for yourself! Use this chart as a guide to make peace with your mind and body-whether you dedicate a day to it or just do one of these activities—or for inspiration! Please remember to also do things in moderation and that not everyone's needs are the same.

Share this with someone else to remind them to care for themselves; stay beautiful! 🦋💜

Sunday afternoon at Molten Java was filled with music, conversation, and the smell of delicious food and drinks as Empathy Is The Cure raised money for Been Beautiful’s upcoming project, the Caterpillar Project, aiming to address the root cause of many mental health issues by teaching children the importance of and how to regulate emotions.

The Been Beautiful is forever grateful for Barry Seroff and his Empathy is the Cure series for organizing this event—we have very fortunately been able to raise $326 to fund classroom and art supplies for TCP! A big shoutout to the performers—Barry Seroff, Jade Stabile, and Conor Andrews—for their beautiful performances to help support our cause! You can check out their performances on Empathy is the Cure’s page. And, of course, thank you SO much to all who came to support and donated! Your contributions and support make a difference and allows us to effectively expand our reach.

Empathy is the Cure will have their next event on August 3rd at Molten Java to fundraiser for su***de prevention—go support them and have fun!!

Your donations will truly make a difference in the lives of others—communities are stronger together!
