December 11th

*note: switched journal ideas for December 11th and December 18th because it makes more sense to have a final design solidified before working on the script and storyboarding for the video* 

THEME: Focus on a hoodie design that highlights women empowerment by working with a friend of mine (Shreya) who is heavily involved in Girls Inc. 

To get some inspiration, I texted my friend asking her to share something about Girls Inc. that has impacted her, whether that be a lesson, story, etc. 

"I don't think there's a specific story, but something with Girls Inc. that I've truly never found anywhere was their unwavering support. Everyone I've met is always doing their best to push girls to their fullest potential without ever expecting anything back and they are always going the extra mile for every single girl they support, and I've seen this because they've helped me overcome so much to shape who I am today. I've really found a family and a sisterhood in Girls Inc."

Key Takeaways: supporting one another + reaching new heights 

Personal Notes (after looking at Girls Inc. website):

• they're also involved in advocacy for policies

• providing a web of connections and various opportunities 

IDEAS + RESEARCH BEHIND THEM: 

• A deep dive into the importance of advocacy 

• What is feminism? Common misconceptions?

• People think that we have reached a balance- what are we not seeing? Why is there still a need for groups like Girls Inc.?

  • political representation 

  • period poverty
