Hi! Welcome...

Wired For Noise I\'m Summer, a mouthy, sarcastic bitch. I\'m passionate about natural birth, long term breastfeeding, and living naturally. I curse too much, love tattoos, and will some day be crushed to death by my book collection. I homeschool, dream of gardening, and swing to the left.

A Girl And Her Brain

I found this video over at Erin’s blog and it actually brought tears to my eyes. If you ever needed a reason to feel a little more Girl Power then this is the video to watch.

What really highlighted the “educate a girl and your change the world’ stance of Girl Effect was later stumbling upon this article. A film making group of women in rural India tackling sustainable living and food. See! The video was right! \

Exactly a month ago today this group of women – most of them poor, non-literate and dalit (from communities traditionally placed below the bottom rung of the pernicious caste ladder) – made an international debut with a multimedia publication titled Affirming Life and Diversity: Rural Images and Voices on Food Sovereignty in South India.

Go women! Go Women! Go Women!

    I saw this on Queen of Spain too and put it right up on my blog- How true for so long girls have been second class citizens. Doesn’t take a genius to know that girls are the key to a compassionate world!
