“Smart Girls” is an organization that was founded by Amy Poehler and Meredith Walker. They have outlets on all social media, and the organization is a way to provide a healthier alternative to information, topics, and ideas to young people, instead of other things that the internet markets! They greatly emphasize being yourself over ‘fitting in’, as stated in their motto, “change the world by being yourself.” They take suggestions and questions from girls (and boys!) all over the world! They have an online show on their YouTube channel that provides advice and information for young girls. Their community has become very popular, and they have over 1.6 million people with them on social media, across 45 countries! Their organization is fantastic, and I definitely recommend checking them out. They are especially popular on their official website, youtube channel, and instagram (as well as on other social media that is linked on their website)!

I recently put out the word to my friends for suggestions for this site, and my buddy nominated his wife Emily who wrote for SNL for almost 10 years… And for good reason, please check out her list of accomplishments below, she is on fire;
- Only the 2nd woman in the history of Saturday Night Live to be a Writing Supervisor/Co-Head Writer(2009/10).
- Only the 2nd woman in the history of SNL (after Tina Fey) to ever ‘run a table’, which means managing revisions on rewrite day.
- 1 of only a handful of high profile women comedy writers who did not attend an Ivy League School, but made it anyway. (The only non Ivy Leaguer on her own writing staff at her new show.)
- Sold her very first attempt at a Pilot through to series on NBC. (Even if it crashes and burns, that’s pretty much unheard of.)
Emily is a comedy writer of the highest order, she obviously rules.
That new show on NBC he was talking about?.. That’s out now, it’s called Up All Night, starring Christina Applegate, Will Arnett, and Maya Rudolph.
I was one of the almost 11 million people to watch the teaser and love it, and I want everyone to watch it every week, okay?.. good
