Here are some of the top stories I’ve read about recently.
1: Milly Bobby Brown + Empowerment (Refinery 29)
If you don’t know who Milly Bobby Brown is Google her now! Despite only being 13 she is way more confident and put together than most women triple her age. The actress’ break out role of Eleven in Stranger Things required that she shave her head; here’s what she said on Instagram about that moment:
“The day I shaved my head was the most empowering moment of my whole life. The last strand of hair cut off was the moment my whole face was on show and I couldn’t hide behind my hair like I used to. The only image I had in my head about what I could possibly look like is Charlize Theron in Madmax. As I looked at myself and couldn’t see my old self, I realized that now; I have a job to do and that is to inspire other girls that your image or exterior part is not what I think is important. What I find important is caring, loving and inspiring other girls. Thought to share my thoughts during this life changing moment. ?” – Milly Bobby Brown
SHE’S THIRTEEN!
