I furthered the cause of women empowerment multiple ways.
First, I spread the news via twitter and facebook about Girl Effect and She Dances - two organizations fighting for the betterment of womanhood. (
Girl Effect targets girls as a wh*** - they believe a girl can lead a movement and change her entire village. Amazing.
She Dances works to build rehabilitation centers in Honduras for girls facing the threat of human trafficking or having escaped sex slavery.)
I also furthered the cause locally by continuing my mentorship of a high school girl in storytelling. Her ability to debate and eloquently state her opinion is inspirational, but she attends a high school at risk of closing because of test scores. I'm mentoring her not because I have the answers, but because I believe in her ability to do something huge with her writing. I'm hoping the encouragement spurs her on to bigger and better things.
