Inspiring and Motivational:

The following links just touch my heart so much.
Since we live in a developed country full of  high technology, we worry more about the next iphone or galaxy comes out and how we really want to up date our phone. Smart phones at least cost $500 or more, These simply changes in these videos are because of the kind supporters with a heart of serving others. We can make a change whether its providing some of our time in education or giving some of our money. It won't hurt us, it would just benefit us in a way were we can open up our eyes to reality and human suffrage. Lets stop worrying about yourselves and take care of others.

hey people

If you want to be a leader, you have to practice leading.

Why is it not ok to be emotional??????

So I am riding in my car scanning music stations. ( Morning radio talk shows are just as damaging and crappy as television news and talk shows by the way!) The question one of the hosts had posed to the public was "would you rather have a woman or a man as a boss? A female came on air and said she would prefer to have a man as a boss because women were too---and she really said this---"emotional, sensitive, and catty"! I was in shock. She went on to say that because of this, "women couldn't get the job done like a man. Men get down to business and get it done and women cant because of our emotions". Oh I felt hurt and confused. How could a women be non supportive of another women being in a professional, leadership role. Did she really feel this way or is this what she has heard for long that she believes it or just goes along with the masses.

Ladies--we can get the job done!!!! We have got to know that we are wonderful leaders, that it has been proven that when women enter into those powerful positions, we rock!!!!

Racist or Not?

The Rules of Racism

Why do we consider ourselves as people who are not racist? When deep down we stereotype whether consciously or not. This video makes light of real situations minorities fight against each other but when a common threat approaches they join forces to defeat the enemy.

YTM Hits the Street

The Youth Transforming Media ladies hit the street last week, taking their knowledge, resources, and message to teens of the Teens Taking Action group. They led great discussion, showed informative videos, and encouraged their peers to get involved. I am so happy and excited for the work to continue with this group.

Soooo difficult to have discussions about stuff that really matters............

Sitting in my living room, I feel so angry about the conversation I am having with people so close to me about the rights and wrongs of media. And its not a media issue, its a global issue. Its what we choose to watch, create, and share with one another. How are we living? What are we spending our time doing? Are we thinking anymore?

One of the most challenging things to do is have a discussion with someone who thinks different than you.
