25.01.2022 Sorry girls... There are no Knights in shining armour...

24.01.2022 There are parts of the world where being born a girl means you are denied an education. It means you could be sold into child marriage. Where being a girl means... you will always be seen as less. But we can do something about it. Were looking for passionate leaders to take a stand for girls everywhere, and become Ambassadors for Girls Education. Apply at: www.onegirl.org.au/ambassador

17.01.2022 Do you consider yourself a feminist?

17.01.2022 (I am not her). There is something to be said for not fading into the background... always play to your strengths!!!

14.01.2022 After learning my flight was detained 4 hours, I heard the announcement: If anyone in the vicinity of gate 4-A understands any Arabic, please come to the gate i...mmediately. Wellone pauses these days. Gate 4-A was my own gate. I went there. An older woman in full traditional Palestinian dress, just like my grandma wore, was crumpled to the floor, wailing loudly. Help, said the flight service person. Talk to her. What is her problem? We told her the flight was going to be four hours late and she did this. I put my arm around her and spoke to her haltingly. Shu dow-a, shu- biduck habibti, stani stani schway, min fadlick, sho bit se-wee? The minute she heard any words she knewhowever poorly used she stopped crying. She thought our flight had been canceled entirely. She needed to be in El Paso for some major medical treatment the following day. I said no, no, were fine, youll get there, just late, Who is picking you up? Lets call him and tell him. We called her son and I spoke with him in English. I told him I would stay with his mother till we got on the plane and would ride next to herSouthwest. She talked to him. Then we called her other sons just for the fun of it. Then we called my dad and he and she spoke for a while in Arabic and found out of course they had ten shared friends. Then I thought just for the heck of it why not call some Palestinian poets I know and let them chat with her. This all took up about 2 hours. She was laughing a lot by then. Telling about her life. Answering Questions. She had pulled a sack of homemade mamool cookieslittle powdered sugar crumbly mounds stuffed with dates and nutsout of her bagand was offering them to all the women at the gate. To my amazement, not a single woman declined one. It was like a sacrament. The traveler from Argentina, the traveler from California, the lovely woman from Laredowe were all covered with the same powdered sugar. And smiling. There are no better cookies. And then the airline broke out the free beverages from huge coolersnon-alcoholicand the two little girls for our flight, one African American, one Mexican Americanran around serving us all apple juice and lemonade and they were covered with powdered sugar too. And I noticed my new best friendby now we were holding hands had a potted plant poking out of her bag, some medicinal thing, With green furry leaves. Such an old country traveling tradition. Always carry a plant. Always stay rooted to somewhere. And I looked around that gate of late and weary ones and thought, this is the world I want to live in. The shared world. Not a single person in this gateonce the crying of confusion stoppedhas seemed apprehensive about any other person. They took the cookies. I wanted to hug all those other women too. This can still happen anywhere. Not everything is lost. - Naomi Shihab Nye #BedtimeStory Photo by Manon Clavelier

14.01.2022 THIS. (Just discovered the author of that quote is Glennon Doyle Melton)

14.01.2022 I need your help... As some of you know I've been having some...well, lets call them challenges in terms of censorship surrounding the film. The trailer for the... film is not allowed to be seen in cinemas (with a rating M or less) and the film poster cannot be promoted on some social media sites as it is showing too much "flesh". *sigh* It is very hard to get the word out about the film when it is being blocked on various platforms, I'm incredibly frustrated. On a personal note I didn't spend two years of my life making this film and sacrificing more than anyone will ever know for it NOT to be seen. And most importantly, this film is a conversation starter, it needs to be seen by women, men and children far and wide. So, I need your help! Please can you get behind this movement (again!) and simply SHARE the trailer and/or tag some friends below that you would like to go see the film with. It's really that simple. If just half of you clicked share then literally tens of thousands of people will see the trailer and that will mean people will know about Embrace. This film is so important, it has the ability to change lives and for those of you who have seen Embrace you will know how deeply and genuinely passionate I am about changing the world and helping those who are suffering with body shame and dissatisfaction. So people power is what I am looking for, I hope you can simply Share and let people (at the very least) see the film trailer! Thanks and appreciation as always xx

09.01.2022 There is nothing more inspiring than hearing another woman's story of inner strength and hope.......

08.01.2022 We all want the best for our sons but often our well-meaning attempts at smoothing the paths for them are counter-productive. After all, life is bumpy its how you travel over the bumps that counts.

04.01.2022 Redefining feminism... For contemporary times.

03.01.2022 When considering what theyd like to improve about themselves, people jump straight to weaknesses. If you ask people how they decide what to target, they say, ...I look at what makes me unhappy or what Im unsatisfied with, or I think about the areas of my life in which Ive been struggling. To improve, its said you should become aware of your bad habits and focus on recognizing your faults. But why give so much attention to improving our weaknesses? Why not build on our strengths? http://www.scientificamerican.com//a-self-improvement-sec/ See more

02.01.2022 Every woman needs to know these things...

02.01.2022 I owe Marilyn Monroe a real debt ... she personally called the owner of the Mocambo, and told him she wanted me booked immediately, and if he would do it, she ...would take a front table every night. She told himand it was true, due to Marilyn's superstar statusthat the press would go wild. The owner said yes, and Marilyn was there, front table, every night. The press went overboard. After that, I never had to play a small jazz club again." -Ella Fitzgerald So many women believe that they can only have success at the expense of another woman. But they couldn't be more wrong. The power we women hold within us is a light, a light that loses nothing by being shared. It is our job as women to inspire, pave the way and give hope to other women. Happy Birthday, Marilyn <3
