Why the World Needs Wonder Woman
It seems like more and more we are encouraging the world not to ask questions. Especially young women. Don’t look at things that you think are wrong and question them, try to change them, instead just think about things that will make you happy. Don’t fight. Don’t rebel. Don’t THINK.

It’s been 13 years since The Body Shop introduced us to Ruby, and I wonder if we’ve really progressed in that time.

Feminism is the dirtiest word I know.
Tonight what happened in Poland was destined to happen eventually. There’s still a lot of wrong in the world that needs to be righted. I’m telling this story in hopes that the next time you see something wrong, you act on it, like I did, regardless of who you are.

The Hunt for the Worst Musical Act: Jeffree Star

Heidiminx on fighting for what’s right — and appreciating the bruises
Two years ago, I started Built on Respect to support the Tibetan community, and fight for human rights awareness.
