Cassandra Perkins(I)

Cassandra began her acting career on the theatrical stage when she was 5, and by the age of 10, had blossomed into a fine young actor with several film credits to her name, as well as a Heartland Regional Emmy nomination. Cassandra is a member of the Asgard Stunt team, where she performs film-related fight choreography, weapon technique, and high/low falls. She works closely with several non-profit organizations that coordinate community youth outreach, suicide prevention, and cyber safety awareness, and has co-authored a book titled "Lift As You Climb," a collection of warm-hearted and insightful stories, inspirational poems, and positive thoughts.

Cassandra feels strongly about making a global difference in the world and has her own Internet TV talk show called 'Global Voices Reaching Out' with an impressive list of guests of best-selling authors, politicians, artists, and many others who are powerful influences today. Her goal is to inspire, lift, motivate, and provide tools for change and growth to make a positive impact that will empower others to live a purpose-driven life.

BYOU "Be Your Own You" has just signed Cassandra Perkins as an official spokes model to empower and educate girls on the dangers of bullying. This 14-year-old actress, Internet TV talk show host, co-author, and stunt girl has been a victim of bullying herself, and her passion is to bring awareness to young girls of this harmful epidemic and help them achieve stronger self-esteem for a better quality of life. She is starring in the upcoming not-yet-released anti-bullying movie, Bully Girls, and is a Certified Internet Child Safety Advocate.

BYOU will feature Cassandra in the upcoming issue of Be Your Own You magazine in the Girls Making A Difference feature.
