24.01.2022 Interesting piece about the devastating effects of PMDD. With so many women suffering and undiagnosed, the word needs to be spread far and wide. Well done SBS.
23.01.2022 Excellent words.
21.01.2022 In 2009 Brilish artist Kirstie Macleod, with seed capital from the British Council, embarked upon a global embroidery project called the Red Dress Project. Betw...een 2009 and 2019 the dress travelled the globe being continuously embroidered by over 120 artisans. The embroiderers include refugees in Palestine, victims of civil war in Kosovo, Rwanda and DR Congo, individuals in South Africa, Kenya, Japan, Paris, Sweden and Peru, upmarket studios in Bombay and Saudi Arabia, artists in Wales and Colombia alongside initiatives to support women in poverty such as Missibaba in Cape Town, South Africa, and FanSina working with Bedouin embroiderers based in the mountains above St Catherine's in Egypt's Sinai. This is both an extraordinary work of collective art and profound and eloquent social commentary. It is also an example of how potent the Attire language is capable of becoming. See more
21.01.2022 Nigerian writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie offered a group of teen girls at the Girls Write Now Awards fantastic advice about the importance of being true to your...self. She observed, "I think that what our society teaches young girls, and I think it's also something that's quite difficult for even older women and self-professed feminists to shrug off, is that idea that likability is an essential part of you, of the space you occupy in the world... [and] that you're supposed to hold back sometimes, pull back, don't quite say, don't be too pushy, because you have to be likable... What I want to say to young girls is forget about likability. If you start thinking about being likable you are not going to tell your story honestly, because you are going to be so concerned with not offending, and that's going to ruin your story... The world is such a wonderful, diverse, and multifaceted place that there's somebody who's going to like you; you don't need to twist yourself into shapes." For an empowering picture book about the value of being true to yourself regardless of what others think, we highly recommend "Stand Tall, Molly Lou Melon" for ages 4 to 8 at https://www.amightygirl.com/stand-tall-molly-lou-melon For an excellent book for pre-teen girls on staying true to yourself even in the midst of social pressure, check out "A Smart Girl's Guide: Drama, Rumors & Secrets: Staying True To Yourself In Changing Times," for ages 9 to 12 at https://www.amightygirl.com/drama-rumors-secrets For a fantastic guide for teen girls that teaches them how to find their voice and understand its importance, we recommend "Express Yourself: A Teen Girl's Guide to Speaking Up and Being Who You Are" for ages 13 and up at https://www.amightygirl.com/express-yourself-guide Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has published a short book offering guidance on raising girls to become strong, independent women, "Dear Ijeawele, or a Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions" at https://www.amightygirl.com/dear-ijeawele She is also the author of several acclaimed novels including "Purple Hibiscus" (http://amzn.to/1q9TXCd), "Half of a Yellow Sun" (http://amzn.to/1uEGVSx), and "Americanah"(http://amzn.to/1qHkCN9), as well as the essay "We Should All Be Feminists" (http://amzn.to/1RVdM0u)

10.01.2022 I know the thought of being 45 when you’re 25 is, Oh my god! Who wants to be 45? But it’s amazing because when you get to be 45, you’ll realise it’s actually very cool and you don’t want to be 25 again."
