I want to be discovered
I want to be noticed
I want to be known
I want people to hear my name and say
“I know her”
“She’s the one who made a difference”
I want people to listen
I want to inspire
I want to change the world
I want to talk and be heard
But only famous people get noticed
Only celebrities can spark change
and nobodies like me are left to follow in their foot steps.
“I don’t know how to change it (the world) but I know if I keep talking about how dirty it is, Somebody gonna clean it up”

One of the things I’ve noticed in working with Walmart as a Walmart Mom this past year, is how Walmart is not afraid to command change. As the nation’s largest retailer and a Fortune One company, they have a lot of pull with advertisers, suppliers, and partners.
I’ve been impressed with Walmart’s efforts to promote family friendly programming on TV. Walmart chooses wisely where to spend…

Adventures in Shaving and Not
Sometimes, I don’t shave. Sometimes, I do. This morning, my mother asked me to, “Please use the blades I bought you.” Which is hilarious, because she’s asking me to shave, without actually having to confront me about shaving. Reasons I shave:
It’s too hot.
I like the way it looks.
It’s long enough/dark enough that I feel self conscious.
I don’t want to make others feel uncomfortable.
I want to.
Reasons I don’t shave:
Shaving is super annoying and takes too much time.
I like having hairy under arms.
My hair is fair enough that for the most part, it doesn’t even show.
I like the way it looks.
I think it’s sexy.
I feel empowered.
I don’t want to.
I wrote this post for the Scenarios USA youth tumblr! Check out the rest here!

Today SPARK went to Seventeen Magazine headquarters to deliver over 24,000 signatures asking Seventeen to start running at least one un-retouched photo spread per issue. (Since this morning, the petition has gotten up to 32,500 and rapidly growing!) Excuse me while I clutch this photo to my chest and sob with joy at how amazing our group of young activists is. Julia, the girl who started the petition (second from the right in that killer ballet stance) is only 14! We're so proud of her and what she's started--including what looks like is going to be a fantastic ongoing conversation with Seventeen about how to support and represent girls!
