One of the fun parts of celebrating Christmas and Santa today is by following Santa’s trip around the world on Christmas Eve via Norad (you can check it out on Facebook, Twitter or via the website). But I recently discovered someone even cooler whose adventures are not only even more amazing but very real that […]
Now I have to admit that I am the first one to roll my eyes at Lego’s whole new girl targeted line of “Girl Legos." I wish so much that Legos could just be Legos and girls and boys who like Legos could play with them without feeling the need to label them as a boy […]
Last week on Facebook you may have seen the fabulous story we posted about the 17-year-old SheHero, Angela Zhang, who created a Nanoparticle that kills cancer. That’s right, kills cancer.

The things women bring to the table are invaluable and it’s no wonder that so many orgs like SheHeroes are […]
Sometimes no matter how hard we try certain things still manage top seep into our lives through the cracks. Despite the positive messages we try to send and the things we try to ban in our homes, as our SheHeroes get older they still are exposed to TV. Friends, schoolmates and older kids.

Almost a year ago on the blog we posted about new standards being set in Britain to hold magazine and advertisers accountable for the images they publish in advertising campaigns.

One of the great things about social media is the amazing ability to constantly connect with people and other organizations that share a similar mission as SheHeroes.
