Warrior Queen
Warrior queen is a movement made up of girls who want to be themselves and are proud of it. We are strong individuals, filled with self-confidence and realize not only the potential they have, but the potential in every girl out there to overcome the harsh eye society has put on being a girl. We're over being told we have to look a certain way, act a certain way and do certain things to succeed in life.
Warrior Queen Up
Today I was contemplating the term “Man Up” and its lack of meaning. Of course there’s an implied meaning (courtesy of our fantastic social constructs) that accomplishes nothing but making the person being told to “man up” feel like less of a “man,” whatever that means.
So I looked on urbandictionary for an official socially constructed definition. My favorite was:
strap on a pair, grow some balls, stop being such a complete and utter wuss.
“Jeeeez. Man up!”
Finally did a new vlog :) June’s got some changes and a THEME. :)

Warrior Queen Ariana: Living Below The Line
My friend Ariana has a humanitarian soul. She was born in Venezuela and has residency in the US. We met at OSU on my first day of classes and have been close ever since. What I love about Ariana and what makes her such a great warrior queen is that she gives without complaint whenever she can. Her latest project is an easy one to donate to and a great cause (and probably one of the most challenging things I think a person in a first world country can do). Here is a little bit she wrote about Living Below the Line.

A teenager from Maine is petitioning Seventeen to print images of real girls, without any photoshop enhancements, in an effort to help young women accept themselves exactly as they are. Julia Bluhm, a 14-year-old from Maine, has started a petition on change.org asking the youth publication to print at least one photoshop-free spread per month, and she’s getting enough support behind her to really make a difference.
