From Election to Holidays

Now that the election is over, I can finally come up for air! The day job took me to the Democratic National Convention, the Republican National Convention, and all around Southern California doing election-related coverage.

It was all very exciting, but after the number of sexist comments I heard I’m even more passionate about Sticker Sisters and the work that still needs to be done.

Please consider donating money, time, or even some “Girls Can Do Anything” stickers or school supplies to an organization that does important work with girls. If you want to give people suggestions of organizations please post them in the comments.

And with the upcoming holidays, I hope you’ll give gifts with a message. At Sticker Sisters, of course, you can choose from dozens of stickers, t-shirts and other goodies with celebratory, encouraging messages for girls of all ages.

Affirmative Action & the Election

Here's a video from my day job that I thought you'd enjoy over here...

UCLA Law Professor Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw addresses the presidential candidates' support of affirmative action programs.



Crenshaw wrote a recent article in Ms. Magazine about deceitful initiatives that are seeking to eliminate affirmative action.

She paints a grim picture saying, "Women and black people were denied the vote in the past; today, they are deceived out of their votes."

Definitely check out the full article.
