American actress, author and model Brooke Shields has unveiled her new online platform and lifestyle brand, Beginning is Now.

A 'global community of women of all ages finding strength, wisdom, optimism, humour, and so much more in each other', the platform offers 'a place to belong, to be inspired, to have your voice heard', and aims to encourage all women to be the best version of themselves. Shields shared the news of the launch on Instagram, and commented 'Growing up, my Mum always used to say, pick yourself up, dust yourself off, start all over again. She taught me that new beginnings could be anything I wanted them to be'.
