Oh this has been great.

We’re about to do our very last show and I’m missing this already.  Over 30 schools from Vancouver to Winnipeg.  Hundreds of girls, and some boys too.  Honestly, it has been so fun!  Girls,  if any of you are reading this, I love you!!!

I love it when you ask really thoughtful questions, when you show that you’re really thinking and caring about girls’ rights.

One of the questions a lot of you have asked is this: what motivate you to do this?

Well, I work in radio and had a great opportunity to work in Ghana (where my family is from).  When I was there I worked on many human rights stories.  A lot of them involved women, and  I told the stories of women whose rights were being neglected.  Those stories had a strong impact on me.

So working with Tamara of the 411 Initiative for Change and Plan Canada was just a good fit.

But I realize that this isn’t over. You girls who said you want to be the one to make change are cooking up ideas, you’re changing the way you relate to each other and you’re thinking about girls your own age in other countries.

And the more you do this, the better the chances are that global change can happen.

You probably won’t believe this, but YOU motivate ME.

Bye everyone!  Thanks for the hugs and the high-fives!  Love you!
