How many times have you found yourself not going to a great event because you didn’t have a friend to go with you? I found myself doing this time and time again, while at the same time finding that many spaces and groups for geeks and nerds were heavily dominated by men. I decided to solve both these problems by forming a meetup group that provides opportunities for women to attend exciting local events and make new friends. The Nerdy Girls Society is designed to foster continuous learning for women of all ages who are interested in things typically described as “nerdy.” We’re enthusiastic about stuff ranging from science to history, comic cons to lectures, and everything in between.

I was going to make a post about sorority recruitment today, and don’t worry that is coming Friday! I thought that this would be a better topic though because it’s more of a current event topic to talk about. I absolutely loved the cast of amazing women they had who spoke at the launch event and I thought that Take The Lead Women hosted a wonderful event. If you follow me on Twitter, sorry that I blew up your twitter feed. Here are five awesome tweets that I thought wonderfully represented some of the best moments. I definitely tweeted more so follow me on twitter for more of my live tweets/retweets!

Last night on Wednesday February 19th, ASU Gammage held an event about women empowerment called Take the Lead. The event featured speakers from all over the country that were there to “inspire and propel women to step into their own power.”
People were also tuning in from 50 countries around the world through a live stream; and they could follow the event through Twitter and Facebook with the hashtag #takeleadlaunch.
I don’t believe men don’t want a better world for women. I suspect a lot of men (and plenty of women, too) just REALLY don’t know how to get there. And how could they? Most men in leadership positions are largely working without us. There aren’t many of us in Congress, on boards, leading major businesses and institutions. You can’t see what you can’t see… And if the world is working for you the way it is now, why change things?

Huddled around my laptop computer, two friends and I watched the livestream of Take the Lead’s February 19 Launch Event. We all agreed that Carla Harris, a Wall Street investment banker and gospel singer, not only was the most inspiring and exciting speaker, but shared the most valuable pointers on what we women need to do to be leaders in our worlds.

I had an interesting conversation with a man on the street outside a co-working/startup space the other day. He asked what I did, and I told him I was a writer/editor who also did women’s leadership work with a focus on social justice. He said, “Oh, so like Lean In?” And I said, “Yes and no. I’m interested in how women’s leadership—and the well-being of women and girls—becomes everybody’s (more people’s) issue.”
