Giving Voice to the Voiceless
By Porchlight
"My son is wise beyond his years, even if from the outside you might have a different perception. Below is Payam's full message written on the alphabet board, it took about five minutes for him to spell it out letter by letter: "I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE WHO SEES THIS AND BEGINS TO SHIFT THEIR PERSPECTIVE TO HAVE MORE BELIEF IN ALL OF HUMANITY." How many times have we been told not to judge a book by its cover? How often do we fail and completely judge others based on what we think is "normal" or acceptable? How do we know what they are thinking or feeling, if they are not able to tell us in the ways that we are used to?

Why We Need a Take Our Daughters to WORTH Day
By Porchlight
"The Take Your Daughter To Work Day movement has succeeded. Girls today can enter any professional they choose. They can start their own businesses, advance their careers, and assume leadership roles in their organizations. We have achieved so much. But our work is not finished. I think we have new work to do. It is not an option to stand by passively as the first generation of digital native girls comes of age and struggles—feeling isolated, unworthy, under pressure, and filled with doubt. That is why I propose we update the Take Our Daughters to Work movement with a Take Our Daughters to WORTH Day."
