  1. Great article about ” privilege”… This was very timely for me, as my study partner and I have been working on an essay and also been talking over how to go about it without colouring the message white.

  2. I feel for Jennifer Aniston even though I’ve never been in her place. It must get really annoying having people follow you around all day taking your picture constantly, asking you the dumbest questions and making fraud news about you… Yikes!

  3. I love that her biggest pet peeve is when people do “absurd things just to get a ‘creative’ instagram picture” . I just imagine seeing her at the beach setting this Barbie up and snapping photos.. ? oh the irony is just too good….

  4. I love the video! I’m going to show this to my children. Parents play a role in personality development of every child and that’s what I’ve been teaching my children — be confident but NOT OVERconfident…

  5. That video about women having confidence issues and not being able to accept compliments is so true… Its message for changing that is important and worth sharing!
