A Reality Revolution Indeed!

Let's face it. As much as we love to hate reality television, it is not going anywhere. And there is not much we can do to make the quality of reality TV better--or is there? There IS something we can do my friends!! :-) Friend and supporter of She is Me and NAACP award winning actor Kaira Akita is on a mission to enrich our entertainment experience with her new production company Reality Revolution.

 Reality Revolution is a media & social action company that creates entertaining, provocative, and inspiring reality TV and social action campaigns that put women, minorities, spirituality, and complex social issues in a fresh new light. RAISING ROSES, their first reality show in development, will transform the lives of teen bad girls and we will hold our first event(s) for teen girls in 2013. In Raising Roses, a super team of fabulous, self-made women join forces with a celebrity host to go toe-to-toe with teenage bad girls and transform them on all levels. 

This project need OUR support..and when we GIVE we GET :).

Black Girls Rock!

I remember when I first learned about the organization Black Girls Rock Inc., I was like "wow, what a neat organization with a fabulous name. That was a few years ago. Last nigt I watched to Black Girls Rock awards special on BET. I think (if my memory serves me correctly) this is the first time on television that black women were celebrated for their positive contributions to society while at the same time empowering and inspiring young black girls. I'm glad to see that BET finally put something of substance on their channel.

About Black Girls Rock Inc.:

BLACK GIRLS ROCK! INC. is a 501c3 nonprofit, youth empowerment mentoring organization

established as a reaction to the often seen negative images consistently imprinted upon Black women expressly in mass media. BLACK GIRLS ROCK! INC.’s mission is to encour- age positive life-changing activity and critical thinking through the arts for “at risk” teenage women of color to help foster their dreams of a better tomorrow without comprising their integrity and self-worth today. By speaking to the next generation of young women of color during their formative years on issues of self-worth, goals, and aspirations, and the images of women in our present day culture, the organization reinforces the message that young women need not objectify themselves or relinquish their autonomy. BLACK GIRLS ROCK! seeks to build the self-esteem and self-worth of young women of color by changing their outlook on life, broadening their horizons, and helping them to empower themselves.The name alone is an AFFIRMATION! BLACK GIRLS ROCK! has boldly taken on the crisis of our female youth of color here in America head on and understands the need for positive self-images and a strong sense of awareness.

April 22. 2010: National Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day

"Designed to be more than a career day, the Take Our Daughters And Sons To Work® program goes beyond the average “shadow” an adult. Exposing girls and boys to what a parent or mentor in their lives does during the work day is important, but showing them the value of their education, helping them discover the power and possibilities associated with a balanced work and family life, and providing them an opportunity to share how they envision the future and begin steps toward their end goals in a hands-on and interactive environment is key to their achieving success. Each year, we develop new interactive activities and partnerships that will assist us in taking girls and boys to the future they dream of. "

"There is no such thing as a too wild dream, too big a hope, too fantastic a wish, too hard a goal."
