Why The NeW National Conference Will Be One To Remember
Brittany Slaughter

Network of Enlightened Women, it means standing firm in my beliefs, but being kind and classy when faced with ideas different than mine. There is no room for name-calling or rudeness when challenged. Network of Enlightened Women trains women to be able to face challenging ideas in an upstanding way and use strong arguments when doing so. I don't need to use Ad Hominin strategies or shy away from topics because I can refute arguments such as the pay gap, bias, and fake news with confidence.

Network of Enlightened Women (NeW) was started by Karin Agness Lips at University of Virginia. The organization empowers conservative women and teaches them how to be conservative and classy. In a world of feminism and name calling, Network of Enlightened Women is a beacon of light and respect.

Every year, NeW holds a national conference that brings in students and women from across the country. Attendees have the opportunity to hear from speakers of different occupations and walks of life. Valuable lessons and tips are taught for maintaining a lady-like composure while debunking false ideas. As an attendee, I know I will be in the company of many amazing women that are taking a stand on their campuses and workplaces.

In just a few days, powerful, Conservative women will join together to learn, connect, and empower one another. This will be an event to remember. The lineup of speakers, itinerary, and the women that will be attending will make this conference phenomenal. I am excited to meet fellow like-minded women and hear their experiences. I look forward to hearing from the speakers, taking notes, and using what I learned in my articles, and when faced with current issues.

Some topics I am particularly excited to hear are; #Me Too, Let's Talk Policy, and Sex Matters. I know the speakers will address the topics with class, but also honesty. I believe it is important to be able to listen to others to be able to strengthen my beliefs and learn from people who know more than me.

In addition to the remarkable speakers and great attendees, scholarships are available for the conference and travel. Some meals are covered, along with travel expenses and the hotel. I am able to attend the conference without emptying my wallet. The women running the conference have been so kind and helpful throughout preparation. This is an organization that deeply cares about its members and helps them succeed. Through NeW, I have made connections and had opportunities I would not have without NeW. They have opened doors for me and been so helpful in furthering my career.

As a conservative woman, this conference will be refreshing, encouraging, and enlightening. Interested in NeW or the conference? Check them out here.

You won't be disappointed.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.

Blair Waldorf
Stop Hollywood

For those of you who have watched "Gossip Girl" before (and maybe more than just once), you know how important of a character Blair Waldorf is. Without Blair, the show doesn’t have any substance, scheme, or drama. Although the beginning of the show started off with Blair’s best friend Serena returning from boarding school, there just simply is no plot without Blair. With that being said, Blair’s presence in the show in much more complex than that. Her independent and go-getter ways have set an example for "Gossip Girl" fans since the show started and has not ended even years after the show ended. Blair never needed another person to define who she was and she certainly didn’t need a man to do that for her. When she envisioned a goal, she sought after it, and took it. This is why Blair’s demeanor encompasses strong women like her.
