I will be the first one to admit that I have a completely full
blown girl crush on Amy Poehler. Not only is she hilarious, gorgeous, and the
star of my favorite show ever (Parks and Rec, duh), but she is also all about empowering
women.
Poehler runs the organization, Smart Girls at the Party.
Smart Girls at the Party is all about empowering women, its mission is "to help young women and the young at
heart with the process of cultivating their authentic selves. We change the
world by being ourselves, and being ourselves is a life-long quest."
As a young women
in her early 20’s I’m stumbling trying to figure out my way in life and
organizations like Smart Girls at the Party our great resources when you feel
down and need reassurance that everyone is just trying to find their way in
life.
If you haven’t
yet, check out the Smart Girl videos on YouTube. Not only are they funny but
they convey the message that smart is powerful, smart is nice, and smart is
fun.
So thank you Amy
Poehler not only for being hilarious and for bringing us Leslie Knope, but for
showing women everyone that it is okay to be yourself and embrace everything
that makes you beautiful.
