I’ve written about Lindsey‘s zine and podcast, You Are Among Friends, before. She describes it as “aimed at girls 10-30, with the goal of empowerment through advice, education and encouragement regarding everything from school to sex, credit cards and heartbreak to living a life of wonder (and not being afraid to peek below one’s own skirt).”
Right now she is expanding that zine into a full on book, including the original material as well as “guest editorials from influential, smart, confident and creative women.” I loved her original podcast and am looking forward to her expanding on that idea. I am not an adolescent girl feminist, but as I have a daughter whom I hope will be one day, I am very supportive of Lindsey’s efforts.
In order to get the project underway, Lindsey has posted her project on the website Kickstarter. This new website lets creative people collect money to get their projects started. What a great idea. Click here to donate or find out more about You Are Among Friends.
While you are at the site check out some of the other projects going on. It is interesting to see what people are coming up with. It is always nice to support other creatives, too.
