There are many ways one can be a SheHero in the world. But the biggest impact we can have as individuals is on the younger SheHeroes around us every day. Our daughters, nieces, goddaughters, students, neighbors, etc. Recently I've been thinking about what we can do in our everyday lives that can make us SheHeroes […]
I get so caught up sometimes in reaching the need for more strong female role models for our girls in mainstream movies and TV shows, that I often times find myself being a little cynical. Though I was more than a little excited the first few times I saw the trailer for Brave, […]
Recently while snuggled up with my kids looking for a movie to watch I came across the very beginning of the classic movie (and one of my personal favorites) The Outsiders. The Outsiders was of course based on the young adult novel of the same name by author S.E. Hinton. S.E. Hinton was a favorite […]
I know, I know. I’m a little late to the Hunger Games party. It was only a few short weeks ago that I stumbled upon the first book in the series by Suzanne Collins and picked it up to read the back. In the back of my mind I remembered someone recommending it to me […]

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. Zhang’s project “Design of Image-guided, Photo-thermal Controlled Drug Releasing Multifunctional Nanosystem for the Treatment of Cancer Stem Cells” will not only save countless lives but […]
Sometimes no matter how hard we try certain things still manage top seep into our lives through the cracks.
