My name is Elysse Andrews, and this is a story, not a guide or an advice piece, on how I found myself. Everyone says love yourself, be yourself, but no one shows us what that looks like. I was discussing this with a friend the other day and she gave herself a hug and asked “is that it? Do I love myself now?” That was the perfect point – how do you learn to love/be yourself in a world that offers so many (this is a psychological term) potential selves? Continue reading…

I have always been the type of girl who felt content keeping to herself. I kept my ideas and my dreams locked away from the world. Everything changed when Erin Bagwell the director of Dream, Girl hired me on to work remotely as their Social Media Guru. Continue reading…

I recently read an article in a feminist magazine about raising daughters, and it stirred up my inner thoughts and emotions. At first, it was hard to believe what I was reading given the advancements and strides women are making in many areas.

As I sit down to write this, my head is swimming with a daunting question: Where do I start?
This Dream, Girl update finds me on the other side of a whirlwind trip to New York City. It was a week of firsts – my first time meeting Erin, the first time she and Komal shared the stage to talk about the film, and the first time I would embed myself in the mission and momentum of our work.

Being a teenage girl is hard. So when a teenage girl finds something that makes everything a little less hard, that makes her feel like a part of something bigger, she’s all in. And then, inevitably, that interest is trivialized by those who can’t understand that teenage girls are powerful and their passions are legitimate. Thankfully, there are two women who’ve started a company on a mission to support those passions. This week, we chatted with Angela Jin and Nishiki Maredia, founders of 1950 Collective, a retail company that operates at the intersection of pop culture and feminism! Continue reading…

When Click: When We Knew We Were Feminists was released in 2010 I had preordered a copy. Less than two years earlier I had ‘discovered’ a feminist website and was just getting to know new friends in the comments section on Jezebel. I was what you might call ‘fem-curious’. Without knowing exactly what I was looking for, I was finding a part of myself in the feminist community. Continue reading…

Parents! They can simply make you crazy. I bet you think we all forget what it is like to be young. The generation gap seems to grow larger with each passing year, and each new technology update! Many parents still live in the world of flip phones. I believe this notion is especially true in the time of life before adults have children of their own. And even then, raising children can be a hot button topic all by itself. Continue reading…
