Gema is only twelve years old and she already recognizes what she needs to do in order to make a difference. She is an inspirational figure for girls in Guatemala and I am confident she will rise to be known by an even larger audience as she travels around the world making her moving speeches.

This is a letter to all the girls who prefer soccer balls to Barbie dolls, those girls who prefer pants to dresses, those girls who prefer the color blue over the color pink, and lastly to the girls who aren’t ashamed to stand for what they believe in. “Girls are made of sugar, spice and everything nice?” Please. Girls are made of nails, knives and anything that can be used to kill. Girls are tough, strong and powerful. We are an emotional whirlwind of Happiness, Sadness and everything in between. Guys, don’t mess with us. Gone are the days where girls were forced to wear corsets and dresses. Gone are the typical stereotypes usually associated with girls. No, we do not all like the color pink. No, we do not spend our free time playing with Barbie dolls. And no, we are not damsels in distress waiting for our knight in shining armor. We are badass. I am a girl, and I am proud. |

Communication is art that we encourage. During each stop, the girls we meet form new relationships and want the opportunity to maintain them and make new ones. They want to be heard by a larger audience and they are eager to listen. The Mighty Girl’s Blog is a forum for girls who have Internet access from all parts of the world to log on and say what they want to say. For those who do not have regular access to Internet, but still desire to connect with girls outside their community, we help match them as pen pals through written letters. The Mighty Girl’s Blog is an open yet monitored forum for girls to connect and share with an interesting and interested group of people. Archives
