Girl Rising

This is sort of like a Sharing the Love post, but it a little different and a little more serious. Girl Rising is a movie and organization that helps girls all around the world with mainly education and independence. The movie focuses on nine main girls, and their stories of education and what they've been through in relation to their education career. The stories are shown visually, but are also narrated by people like Anne Hathaway, Chloë Grace Mortez, Selena Gomez, Meryl Streep, and so many more. It is a truly inspirational story and should be more widely known. The hard truth is 1/4 girls aren't literate, and 50% of babies born from illiterate mother also turn out illiterate. People need to understand women hold the future in theirs hands just as much as mens do, and women need to remind everyone. As a women this film was very inspirational and important, and I think even men could learn from this movie. Even if you don't check out the movie, just check out the website and get informed.

Love Sara :)
