The Riot Grrrl Manifesto

(as read by Kim Gordon)

This should totally energize all girls (and women) to speak up, make media, and assertively occupy our rightful place everywhere.

"BECAUSE I believe with my wholeheartmindbody that girls constitute a revolutionary soul force that can and will change the world for real."

Memory Tricks!  -- Eight 5th grade students from the Jemicy School in Owings Mills, MD, which educates students with dyslexia or other related language-based learning differences, have teamed up with eight young women studying animation at MICA (Maryland Institute College of Art) in Baltimore. Working in student-mentor pairs, the Jemicy and MICA students are animating visualized mnemonic devices that kids can use to facilitate learning and make it fun.

Project director Lynn Tomlinson, an animator and MICA professor, is known for her work on Sesame Street and PBS Kids, and designed this project to empower girls through art and technology.
