This Girl Will Probably Be My Boss One Day. I Don’t Mind. [VIDEO]

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

I actually didn’t know these were a thing until today but apparently there’s TED Talks by teenagers. Anyway, I’m glad the first one I watched blew me away. Editor-in-chief and founder of RookieMag.com is 15-year-old Tavi Gevinson (also read her work at thestylerookie.com). Listen to her talk about fictional female characters and what they mean for real women, figuring out who she is, helping others do the same, and just being an all-around intelligent and thoughtful woman with smart things to say.
