Amy Poehler? Kinda my hero.

Which is why I was excited to find out that she’s created a campaign that inspires girls to change the world. By being themselves.

It’s called Amy Poehler’s Smart Girls, and it’s pretty much a big giant pile of awesome. In addition to the website, she has a YouTube channel where she interviews girls who are doing amazing things, answers health questions… and even has a weekly dance party.
