TedxTalk Tuesdays / / The Idea of Charity
As a new intern at Invisible Children, I am getting a crash course in Nonprofits 101 – how they form a mission, how they articulate their mission, and how they implement their mission on a shoestring budget (they don’t call them nonprofits for nothing). There are so many myths, expectations, and, frankly, fantasies about nonprofit […]
Fourth Estate Summit according to Instagram (Part III)
The 2013 Fourth Estate Summit ended too soon (the best things in life always do), but thankfully you took some stellar Instagrams that we can look at forever and always.

Not that we planned out themes for each day of the Fourth Estate Summit, but if we did, Saturday’s theme would have been “UNREAL”.

It’s finally here. After months & months (& months) of dreaming, planning, scheduling, filming, and organizing, our Fourth Estate Leadership Summit has kicked off with a bang.

TEDxTalk Tuesdays / / Why 30 is not the new 20
Just when you start to comfort yourself by embracing your youth – “I’m only 23, I don’t need to have my life figured out yet” – clinical psychologist Meg Jay comes along with her TEDxTalk, “Why 30 is not the new 20”, and lights a massive fire under the derrières of all twenty-somethings. Contrary to […]
Beat-Making in Fiji // bringing art and activism together
“I understand that I only have one life. I can’t go about it twice. That’s kind of what brought me to this point. I don’t want to be at 60 and regret having spent my whole life doing something that wasn’t really who I am.” And that’s how the first episode of Heartbeats of Fiji begins. […]
