For all the feminists out there who could use a moment of inspiration, set aside a couple of hours for this recently released film, The Glorias! It's a story about early Women's Lib, MS Gloria Steinem, and some amazing women/activists from the movement: Wilma Mankiller, Bella Abzug, Dorothy Pitman Hughes, Dolores Huerta, and Flo Kennedy. Yes we can ✊✊🏽✊🏿

Big shout out to our gal pal Mahealani Williams for being featured in . Love you so much!!! Also, DJ Mahealani will be spinning at the next BossBabes event on October 24th!! Be there babes!

The first mermaids were a strike of inspiration — the culmination of influences DJ Mahealani had waded through along her way in life. The artist discusses how the magical, musical creatures came to be.

“For us, the idea of Girls Rock Camp is less about the final product of the song and it’s more about mentorship...It’s a self-efficacy, self-empowerment program. Music is our means of doing that, but it’s not our main goal. It would be awesome in 10 years to see this huge change in the popular music landscape, but it’s also not the end goal.”

Check out this great article featuring Girls Rock Austin & the whole Girls Rock Camp Alliance movement!

The effects are so important.

Emma Goldman was rad(ical). She believed anarchism was the only political structure that would lead to liberty, harmony, and social justice for all and dedicated her life to fighting for those beliefs.
