The first thing anyone can do, about any issue, is get informed.

The unsaid message of that endless rack of juniors' pushup bras? No matter what size you are, it still isn't good enough.

Since the age of four, I've been exploring what I can do with the written word: everything from championing literacy and youth voice to raising awareness about world hunger.

As children, we have a tenuous idea of love; we often try to quantify it with how much we feel seen and heard.

Hoping to instill my love of learning in other children, I taught my first class at a local elementary school the year my first book, 'Flying Fingers,' debuted; since then, I have spoken at hundreds of schools, classrooms and conferences around the world.

CEOs of top companies could probably use a dose of not-asking-for-raise behavior and less self-entitlement, rather than us trying to change girls in order to fit into the common mold of what we think a CEO looks like.

Mostly, I avoid worrying since the time spent doing it could be spent more constructively.
