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 […]
I have to admit that with my daughter only being six we kind of missed the Hannah Montana boat. Not that my daughter doesn’t know Hannah Montana or adore her for that matter. But I’ve never really encouraged a lot of Hannah Montana in our house. While I don’t mind the show all that much, […]

Though we may do our best to expose our SheHeroes and Heroes to inspiring images, gender barrier busting SheHeroes from history and anything that may help them strive to be more than what the media says they can be, sometimes the best sources of inspiration come from out of nowhere.
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. We also get the chance to hear inspiring and uplifting stories of SheHeroes from all over the world, all walks of life, and of all ages. Sometimes those […]
One of my favorite mythological creatures has always been the Phoenix. Some of you not familiar with Greek mythology may actually recognize the Phoenix as Professor Dumbledore’s pet bird, Fawkes in the Harry Potter series.
