Feel-Good Treasures From the Bounty of the World Wide Web by Lori Lewis
Here’s some good stuff we’ve found online to inform, inspire, motivate and delight you.
Power Play:
• “See” Your Beauty This month’s power play is about being able to recognize and feel the power of your beauty. • Beauty Redefined by Jules Morrow This is a lovely, catchy song being sold to raise funds to support the website BeautyRedefined.com, a very affirmative site around building a positive body image that’s definitely worth a closer look.
Children’s Television Workshop: Sesame Street: Change The World Having not watched Sesame Street since a single-digit age, we weren’t expecting to stumble on this video but we love it! It’s adorable, and what a great message wrapped in a catchy tune - who wouldn’t love to hear their little girl singing a song like this? Worth a watch with your daughter. The Goddess Film Project
Visual Creatures: The Girl Effect
This powerful video quickly went viral with its seemingly simple answer to changing the world (educate a girl, give her a financial loan to buy a cow, this will lead to local improvements and empowerment for women in her village). A lovely idea, but this video from the The Equality Effect comes along as something of a reality check, asserting that until women are seen and protected as equal to men under local law and custom, an education and a cow won’t do anyone much good. pg 25 | www.seemagazine.org
We love the passion and mission behind this idea to cross the United States, seeking out and sharing stories of empowered everyday women - it’s very much in line with our own vision for See Magazine. Although the Kickstarter campaign expires the day before this issue publishes (and fortunately they have met their funding goal!) we encourage you to check them out and support their fundraising efforts if you’re moved to do so. -Get the scoop on the new releases of the latest women’s films on BinsideTV
