Journey Thursday: It’s been one step Jolie, then two steps Kardashian

When it comes to the steady march forward (it’s moving forward, right?!) of progress for women, it’s been one step Jolie, then two steps Kardashian. Then four steps forward and one step back.

I mean, on the one hand, a girl who isn’t even 18 yet won the Nobel Peace Prize for advocating women’s rights. On the other hand, an extremist group kidnapped hundreds of girls. Terrifying.

The roller coaster of highs and lows are truly enough to give a person motion sickness. But Phoebe Greenwood’s four-minute year-in-review won’t. In spite of some you-can’t-not-mention-them downers, her video is funny, informative, and galvanizing.
