A few words in light of the hate being spread in America.


If you don't look like me, this is to you.

If you don't talk like me, write like me, or worship my God, this is to you.

If your skin is brown, or red or black, or English is not your first language, this is to you.

If your parents were not born here, and you've been fighting to survive, this is to you.


You may not feel welcome in this place that is my home.

But that is all wrong.

America was made to be a home for the homeless,

a beacon of light for those who have found themselves lost.


We have forgotten that our freedoms are founded by those who were fleeing persecution.

Persecution of religion.

This place was not meant to be a home for one color, one language, one God.

America has forgotten to love thy neighbor as thy friend.


I have not forgotten.

This is your home as much as mine.

I will fight for your safety and your freedom.

Please do not give up on us, we have not all forgotten.

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

As frustrating and annoying as it can be, being a girl is really awesome. We are beautiful inside and out. Not a lot of people may see that, but girls have a ton of amazing qualities.

We have unique flirting skills.

Us girls have a significant way to flirt with other people. Even when we say the most random or awkward things, we have a way of making everything sound cute and planned. It’s just a gift; we’re good like that.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
