		<description><![CDATA[September 1, 2010 It’s the first of September, as the first day of school angst bubbles up throughout the nation on either side of this ‘premiere’ week. (many have started school already, some are about to) A welcoming &#8216;first day?&#8217; Hardly.

		<title>Raising Authentic Girls: Rachel Simmons&#8217; &#8220;Be You! The Real Girl Tour&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[August 31, 2010 “Be you!” Riiiiight. In a media environment that cynically exploits how to act, what to wear, why to buy and who to be, girls are repeatedly told to &#8220;be themselves.&#8221; GirlsHealth has a perky “Be healthy. Be happy. Be You. Be Beautiful” site. Girls Inc is “inspiring girls to be strong, smart [...]]]></description>

		<title>Media Unplugged: Clamping The IV Digital Drip (Pt1)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[August 28, 2010 A funny thing happened to me on the way to the ER… Nope, no sidejokes or ‘this is your brain on media’ digital detox or social media exodus warning, just a true story and a few thoughts on what happens when one ‘goes dark’ without trying… I had some profound life lessons [...]]]></description>

		<title>Is It ONLY ME? Disabling Facebook Places In Pursuit of Privacy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[August 19, 2010 Today is World Humanitarian Day and I definitely needed this inspiring humanitarian video to gain some perspective on humanity. (fab 4 mins after the jump, and a how-to disable vid on Facebook Places too!) I don&#8217;t know why anyone would give a flying fig about my whereabouts, but I DO know I&#8217;ve [...]]]></description>

		<title>A HUGE Breakthrough for TV: Nuance Trumps Vapid Vixens Aplenty</title>
		<description><![CDATA[August 12, 2010 In part one and part two of my posts about ABC Family’s Huge premiere, I hoped to see the show evolve from the hope and promise of some stellar scriptwriter ‘attachments’ to actually being ‘attached.’ I’d like to say they ‘had me at hello’ but frankly they did NOT. I’m not an [...]]]></description>

		<title>Backdraft: DV=&#8221;Differing Views&#8221; on Dating/Domestic Violence</title>
		<description><![CDATA[August 9, 2010 Consider this a ‘preliminary post’ to address the Eminem/Rihanna video controversy that’s scorching the blogosphere with the Love the Way You Lie lyrics being deconstructed to a farethewell. (read the comments on EW&#8217;s music mix, Jezebel, The Guardian, an important one from the Gainesville Sun/GatorSports angle, and  CB, &#8220;where escapism can be [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Aug 5, 2010 Meet Sabore Ole Oyie. My teen&#8217;s about to, as is her BFF and BF. Yep, this afternoon I’m bringing a few teens for a &#8220;reality show&#8221; not to be missed at the Global Leaders for Justice Innovation dialogues. (video of Sabore&#8217;s water access project after the jump) Sounds heady, oui? I see [...]]]></description>

		<title>Global Leaders For Justice: Using Media For Breakthroughs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[August 4, 2010 My teen dialog yesterday: “Did you have fun waterskiing with your dad?” “Yah, we did, how was your Global Leaders for Justice thingie? What’d you DO all day, mom?” “Um…well…let&#8217;s see&#8230;I got to work with Sabore Ole Oyie, a Masai Chief trying to build a local well so girls wouldn’t walk all [...]]]></description>

		<title>Happy 15th B-day: TEDxTeen &amp; CEO of Lil’ MDGs Dylan Mahalingam!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Aug 2, 2010 As I opened my Facebook to check messages from GWLN&#8217;s Global Leaders for Justice organizers who I’ll be working with tomorrow and Thursday at SCU mentoring inspiring projects from all over the world, I scanned the &#8216;birthdays&#8217; sidebar. Keeping with the global theme, I was alerted to change agent Dylan Mahalingam’s 15th [...]]]></description>

		<title>Media Slave? ReShaping Habits For More Summer Fun</title>
		<description><![CDATA[July 27, 2010 “Why aren’t you posting on Shaping Youth every day like you used to, Amy? Are you on summer hiatus like the networks?” Um, I guess that’s what you’d call it. Frankly, it never occurred to me that I needed to ‘inform’ people that I was trying to eke out some ‘white space’ [...]]]></description>
