Shape What's to Come.

I can easily say I don't think I have ever been so proud of a company in my life.  The following video I've watched multiple times now and I just become inspired every time.  Levi's has created ShapeWhatsToCome.com, a global community encouraging women to increase their impact by connecting and collaborating with other innovative women who share their passions and interests. It's a place where mentorship has been re-imagined as a communal, peer-to-peer exchange.


This campaign is the right place to be going when it comes to how big companies should be doing not just charity work, but pushing the world we live in to be a better place. 


Watch and be inspired.

Now do something about it. 

Because Sometimes Laughter Really is the Best Medicine

As a women we are imprinted from birth how to think, see and feel constantly by the culture in which we in find ourselves in.  In this inspiring TedTALK though, Liza Donnelly shows that women in the media do have the power to cultivate positive change through joy and laughter.  I don't know if I exactly agree with her ideas, but, perhaps by me not agreeing I am really just saying, I'm one of the many stuck in a mold of "Political Correctness"  too worried about who and how I may speak, and less concerned with the actual issues at hand. Worrying about offense creates too many mental barriers and often never allows the real problems to be heard. (Interesting how even as my fingers strike the keys, the words still seem like concepts I should possibly hold my tongue over for fear of being labeled "unworthy" or "offensive").   

Donnelly suggests that perhaps we are too "Politically Correct" to begin with.  Maybe this world needs a few good media queens to take the reins and show the country how they can "loosen up a bit"?  Look at John Stewart and Steven Colbert, where's insert name of woman? 

The rules of society have been laid down long ago.  What if rather than terror and guns war raged with, laughter and joy? What if the media could become the next great bullet of revolution?
