If there was only one thing that I could pass onto my girls, it would be a strong sense of self. This would give them the strength to be great decision makers that can direct their own course in life, and in turn positively effecting others.
Carrie Brownstein (star of the IFC comedy Portlandia) apparently had a similar desire to empower girls through the process of music making. Not old school, fashion plate lead singer, but actually performing good ol’ rock-n-roll to show how proud you are to be who you are. After all, a VOICE, is the best thing to give our girls!

I love Carrie Brownstein on Portlandia and had no idea she was involved with Girls Rock, which is one of my favorite pro-girl movements…great interview!
Thanks Deb! We’re inspired by Carrie/Girls Rock too. FYI..”Through her writing, Deborah Reber is actually changing young girls’ lives by empowering them to tell their own stories, in their own words.” – Fast Company Magazine, May 2011

I agree! I think empowering your inner gives you a strong decision maker ability which it’s important in your life.
