I Am Not Afraid is a blog dedicated to fighting against the oppression and sexism that girls face in today's world. We will be addressing the smaller things, like stereotypes, and the bigger issues, like girls not being allowed to go to school in many countries. We created this blog after hearing the story of Malala Yousufzai, the 15 year old girl who was shot (but survived, and is recovering) by the Taliban in Pakistan. After hearing her inspiring story, we felt like we needed to do something in her honor. And here we are! The name I Am Not Afraid was created from the Malala quote "I don't mind if I have to sit on the floor at school. All I want is education. And I'm afraid of no one.". We took her words of fearlessness and made it into this blog.
We couldn't be more thrilled to be starting this (with any luck, long) relationship with you all, so please check back often!
Lots of love,
Husnaa and Audrey
