My Brown Baby - Teaching Girls the Importance of Character

Denene Millner, author of the blog My Brown Baby, wrote a very interesting article for Refinery 29 on what's wrong with telling a little girl she's pretty. Millner has a beautiful four-year-old daughter who receives compliments on her beauty frequently. This makes Millner uncomfortable not because she doesn't want her daughter to hear she's beautiful, but because she thinks there is more to her beauty than just her cuteness. She tells her daughter her beauty runs deep,"You're so pretty...but more importantly, you're smart and kind and have the type of stubborn determination that'll take you places." Millner says in raising her daughter she stresses the importance of building intellect, being honest, having a strong body and being compassionate.

Millner explains that the seeds she sprinkles in our "color struck, body-obsessed, white-washed world" are  seeds of self acceptance and positivity. She tells her daughter. " Yes, you’re a cutie, but really that means nothing in comparison to the beauty of character. That’s what will carry you through life with grace. That’s what will help you make lasting relationships and wise decisions. That’s what will help you realize how truly full of beauty you are. Not because of your smile, but because of the way it radiates warmth. Not because of your eyes, but because of how they see good in others. Not because of your hair, but because of how it reflects your bursting personality. Your beauty is ever-present. You don’t need eyes to see it.”

Millner's daughter is so lucky to be raised by such a strong, smart woman. By teaching the importance of character, Millner is providing her daughter with the most important tools for a successful, happy life. My mother raised me with similar morals and taught me the importance of being a good person and treating other people with respect. To be cliche, I was taught true beauty is on the inside. I am sure the reason Millner's daughter receives so many compliments on her beauty is because she is so wonderful on the inside that it shows outwardly.

Viraj Puri - Who says a 13 year old can't change the world?!

As we all know, social media is a common vessel for modern day bullying. So much so that 'Cyber Bullying' is something that has touched all of us in some way.  We have all seen those extreme comments on an Instagram or Twitter post. Some people's reactions are to fight back. Others are to stay quiet and not get involved. Others sit back and wonder how someone could be so mean and hurtful without even knowing who they are insulting nor their audience. Well, a young man by the name of Viraj Puri has taken a very unique approach to cyber bullying. 

Check out this BBC exclusive video that depicts the basic idea behind Viraj's anti-bullying approach. We find this analytic approach to be profound for such a young mind! Not convinced? Check out his blog - Bullyvention. This blog exhibits his work with Capital Hill to create intriguing heat maps based on formulas that categorize social media conversations with bullying keywords and tones. 

Viraj has done all the work for us. If you agree with him that "even if we save just one person from committing suicide, it makes a huge difference," let your voice be heard! Write on Washington!
