The article “How To Think Like An Activist” by Wendy Syfret talks about activism as the ability to change communities and lives it requires time and energy. Activism  in this new century were millennials and gen Z  have a huge impact with help of social media. Now days everyone has access to a phone with camera news spread way faster we are able to share content with just a click of a button. 

Syfret mentions that change starts at home and even thought it might not apply to everyone it is important to be able to bring issues in the place you call home with family. Even if you don’t agree with one another like it happens in some families, having your voice heard is important and being able to respect each other’s concerns and thoughts is key.  

The snapshot that Karinys Carillo share where the little girl has a poster that says “ Little girls with dreams become women with vision” really is true. As my personal experience working with children I have seen some very unique kids that I’m amaze how at such young age they have a such a strong opinions on how they think. 

The film girls connected is an example on how some kids in this case 5 girls have such passion for what they believe and stand for. They have made it their mission to help the community they grew up so other girls can have the same opportunities and the chance of a better life. 

They want to create a positive change to younger girls and help them on their journey. All the five girls are a good example of with a mentor should be, at the end of the film one said “its important to stay focus and committed to their dreams”  and I personally find that vey inspiring. 

I wish I had their same commitment and passion I think if everyone can put just a small amount of the same dedication they have we could make big changes.
