Well, it's time for my blogging career to come to a close...at least for now. I've been reflecting a bit on what I learned through this exercise; here are three of my key takeaways:
1. I learned (and hopefully you did too) that there are an infinite number of positive role models for young teen women. Don't get me wrong, there are definitely a lot of not-so-great people to look up to, but in the grand scheme of things, there are so many incredible, inspiring women across the globe and the role model effect can really empower young women.
2. It isn't easy to get young girls interested in and reading about politics. This type of change requires continued focus to create a cultural shift. We really need to figure out how to make it cool to be interested in politics.
3. Blogging is tough!! It's hard to make posts conversational and personal, while still being concise. I would like to think I improved at this over the course of the project as I learned what worked and what didn't quite work.
I guess that's all for now. It's been wonderful to have this as a sounding board. Thanks for listening. I'll leave you with the following food for thought:
You can be whoever or whatever you want to be--don't ever let anybody tell you different. Until next time....
xx, Julia
