More about Metiza


Metiza is a positive online community focused on young women inspiring and encouraging one another to be their best selves. We hope to instill a sense of purpose, confidence and love of authentic self into every person. Every voice is important, valuable and worthwhile and Metiza lets those voices shine.

We want to start a new conversation, one that celebrates the extraordinary within the ordinary, featuring everyday girls doing everyday, amazing things. True, honest, authentic, awesome.


We know young women are the key to change and a vital part of the paradigm shift happening in our world. They have a voice that is valuable; not just listening to advice from those who have been there, but sharing their own stories. BY each other, FOR each other.

The Metiza Story

Metiza came about through a conversation between a mother and daughter, commiserating about the bombardment and skewed “celebrity oriented” content being delivered to girls today. Content that unrealistically defines what’s beautiful, real, and meaningful, setting us up for inevitable failure by comparison.



We added a lifelong best friend, who’s passion for empowering young people gives her purpose, and got to work. We wanted to start a new conversation, one that celebrates the extraordinary within the ordinary, featuring everyday girls doing everyday, amazing things. True, honest, authentic, awesome.

We knew young women had to be part of the conversation. They have a voice that is valuable, not just listening to advice from those who have been there, but sharing their own stories.
