Meet Heather Cabot in our “Women Who Inspire” stories. Heather is a veteran journalist, angel investor, writer and adjunct professor at Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism. Heather recently joined LiveGirl to talk about her new book, “Geek Girl Rising”. She is a powerful role model on a mission to help young women in fields like tech and finance that are male-dominated. Heather’s advice? Focus on mastery. “I think there’s a lot to be said for some of the research and writing about perfectionism in girls and confidence; I see it in myself certainly and I see it in my daughter. Girls need to realize that there’s something more important than the final GPA. They should focus on effort, attitude, preparation, practice, and all of the other things that need to come together in order to master something. And they need to realize they might not get it the first time. And that’s okay.” Read the full story. #linkinbio @geekgirlrising Interview by Caroline Cioffi, LiveGirl Fellow, New Canaan HS Senior #blog #geekgirlrising #STEM #mentor #girlpower #girlempowerment #rolemodel #womenwhoinspire
More than 100 women, most of them Democrats, won Tuesday’s #midtermelections — resulting in the largest number of women elected to serve in Congress at once in history (the current number is 107). Many have called this the #yearofthewoman, but perhaps it was also a year of firsts: Last night saw the first Muslim and Native American women elected to Congress, the youngest woman ever elected to Congress, the first Black woman elected to Congress from Connecticut, the first Latina women elected to Congress from Texas, the first black woman elected to Congress from Massachusetts, the first women elected governors of Maine and South Dakota, the first woman elected Senator from Tennessee.

There is a FEMALE wave coming! We were inspired yesterday by each and every one of the 100 brave girls who attended our “Girl Powerful” Leadership Summit. We spent the day exploring the many ways that girls and young women are powerful. Our keynote speakers Mariam Gates and Reena Ruparelia urged the girls to live in the moment and realize their power. Bestselling Author @mariam.gates shared tips and inspiration from her new book, "This Moment Is Your Life (And So Is This One)”. Dove Real Beauty Ambassador Reena Ruparelia @psoriasis_thoughts shared powerful life lessons. Which one resonates most with you? 1️⃣ Life is unpredictable… that’s what makes it interesting- 2️⃣ After breakdown, comes breakthrough- 3️⃣ Your body is your FRIEND, not your ENEMY- 4️⃣ You don’t have to be who you were yesterday- 5️⃣ Courage and Fear are your friends, hang out with them- 6️⃣ You are ENOUGH- 📸 @anichols.photography - Thank you @gracefarmsct for hosting us. 💚- Thank you @kreeves9 @akottenstette @liv_west73 @gray_lillie @emi1yl0pez @mwmurphy88 @nicole.0015 @jayydaaduppree_ @neya_k13 @mackenzie_moore03 #girlpower #girlpowerful #girlempowerment #futureisfemale #femalewave #girlboss #mariamgates #yoga #thismoment #psoriasis
V O T E for love 💚 peace ✌🏽 and these young women! Like the Queen says, “I’m feeling grateful for everyone before me who fought so hard to give us all the right to have a voice. We can't voice our frustrations and complain about what's wrong without voting and exercising our power to make it right. We need you. We all need each other, because when we are truly united we are unstoppable." - @beyonce #vote #shevotes #yourvoicematters #leagueofwomenvoters #midtermelections

“Solidarity between women can be a powerful force of change, and can influence future development in ways favourable not only to women but also to men.”― Nawal El Saadawi - These ladies are proof of the powerful force of change that occurs when young women come together. Yesterday, our high school Youth Advisory Board met with the brilliant Dr. Vida Samuel @uconnstamford to workshop our thoughts on challenges facing young women today. We worked toward identifying specific actions that we can take both individually and collectively to make positive change toward gender equality. We also talked about how we can learn from the women who came before us: Simone De Beauvoir, Gloria Steinem, Dorothy Pitman Hughes, Mary Wollstonecraft, Betty Friedan, Sylvia Plath and so many others.- ▶️ Are you a high schooler passionate about female empowerment, women in leadership, and gender equality? Then join our Youth Advisory Board! Our YAB meets the first Saturday of every month (in person + Google Hangout). Each month, we provide a specific mission that provides an opportunity for student-led social change. All of our missions involve taking action and speaking up for girls/women using social media (yours and/or ours). Together, we can amplify our impact. Interested? DM us!! #futureisfemale #girlpower #girlempowerment #girlsleadership #youth #youthadvisoryboard #change
The hugs and laughs prove that we are always stronger together. 💚 Thank you @africayogaproject and @ctpoweryoga. Namaste 🙏🏼 #community #yoga #girlpower #girlempowerment
