Embracing Your Inner Girl

“I am an emotional creature!,” Eve Ensler declares as she closes her passionate talk in TEDIndia.

Eve talks about “the girl cell” that we all have. The usual impression for girls is to be submissive, passive. The “girl cell” is that inner strength, that instinct that we girls should not suppress. She shares stories of girls from around the world who conquered obstacles with their girl strength. My summary won’t do her talk justice, really. It’s best that you watch it.


Eve Ensler: Embrace Your Inner Girl

My mindset before watching this 20-minute talk: A bit lost. Disoriented. Discouraged. I’ve been going through some emotional hulabaloo lately. Maybe it’s hormones. Maybe it’s something else.

My mindset after watching Eve’s talk: Empowered. Encouraged. Activated. Strengthened. ENGAGED.

Eve’s talk is rich and inspiring. Please watch till her closing; this is what I found the most motivating part of her talk. It made me want to shake pompoms in the air and go “I am a G! I! R! L! Goooo GIRL!” I could also go “Give me an I! A! M! A! N! E! M! O! T! I! O! N! A! L! C! R! E! A! T! U! R! E!” but that’s way too long for a cheer. The spirit’s just the same though!

Perhaps it’s that feminine instinct that we have that drives that girl strength we have. Perhaps it’s our ability to face and acknowledge emotions head on while not losing sight of logic.

Please watch Eve Ensler’s “Embrace Your Inner Girl” talk and be engaged by it. This is just too good not to share.

Eve Ensler, I’m shouting it out with you. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE BEING A GIRL!
