Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The loss of RBG is something I can’t even put into words. She is someone I greatly admired, someone whose simple presence commanded inspiration. I already miss her. Immensely. It’s disappointing that this extraordinary woman can’t even be properly mourned because everyone is nervous about who will replace her, rightfully so, but I think she deserves more. I wrote this piece last night, an ode to a fighter and to my first superhero ❤️ You will never be forgotten.
See Something, Say Something, DO Something
By Victoria Iparraguirre, Manhattan School of Music ‘22 and LiveGirl Communications Intern
While 2020 has been a rocky year for all of us in many regards, I can fully say it has been one of the best years of my life in terms of personal growth. With all of this time on our hands, my ideas and creativity have gone into full bloom. With the recent events of the Black Lives Matter movement, I was so incredibly moved by the support my city has shown and as a result, I was inspired to hold my own event.
Listen, Learn, Act: Racism in America
By Dr. Vida Samuel, PhD. LiveGirl Board Member and Professor at University of Connecticut, Stamford

We must force ourselves to do equal amounts of the emotional work required for a more racially-just world.
