Insights

This section of my blog is going to be a place where I post things that I feel are important for women, and any young people, for that matter, to be informed of. I want to address topics like equality, the power of having your voice heard, astrology, art, changes in science, so many things!  

Having Confidence

I really wanted to share a link to a short essay written by a writer at Elle about woman and just how important our self worth is, especially in the work place. When I read this short article something really resinated with me about my self esteem and just how qualified I feel to be doing all that I'm doing.

Scientists Declare Animals Are As Conscious As Humans

I feel like it definitely doesn't take a scientist to figure this one out...But it's still pretty wonderful, and makes me wonder why people still treat them the way we do..  Be sure to read this super short article and check out the heartwarming photos backing up the fact that our animal friends can love us just as much as we love them-and they even understand why.

Angelina Jolie on Ending Sexual Violence

This video is so powerful and so monumental to what's happening right now in the world, and the vast changes that are taking place. Throughout time using sexual violence as an act of war has long been viewed as an unending terror. Never before have people truly embraced putting action towards ending it, because that seemed in incomprehensible thing, but times are changing rapidly. Having such a public and powerful figure behind this cause like Angelina Jolie will only bring to light a subject that has long been deemed too gruesome to be looked at or even acknowledged (which is a huge problem for putting an end to it!)
