women for women

women for women international gives me hope. it is something good in the world. it is passionate women empowering other women to be passionate. it is an organization born from the pain of one woman that has grown to change the lives of women in 8 countries. this is something i can get behind. women everywhere deserve a chance. we deserve empowerment and a hope-filled future. what a beautiful story to hear and long to be a part of.

where are the good guys??

some angry haikus
to jackasses everywhere
from fabulous girls:

seriously, why?
when your ego is put down
does hurting me help?

i opened myself
and you threw it in my face
so you could save face

i was so honest
not attacking, rude, or mean
you were not the same

i deserve better
someone who listens and loves
with no harsh judgment

where are the good guys?
who are they dating? not me
please reveal yourself

miss representation

the following is a trailer for a new documentary that just came out that tackles the issues of how women are portrayed in the media and how disempowering that is for women.

i can't wait to see the full documentary. the trailer is thought-provoking and empowering and makes me want to do something more tangible to raise up strong, confident, independent girls.
