Girls For A Change: Amy Jussel and Carrie Ellett On World-Changing

November 15, 2008 by Amy Jussel 14 Comments

Some of you may remember I was one of the fortunate U.S. delegates last year for GWLN's “Women Leaders for the World 2007” along with global citizen and Hardy Girls Healthy Women advisory board member Jin In, who is now the founder of 4GGL.org, who we’ll hear from soon. (4GGL stands for the “Glocal” impact of inspiring girls, transforming the world) EACH of the GWLN graduates … [Read more...]

New Media, The “Youth Vote” And Generation “We”

November 5, 2008 by Amy Jussel 3 Comments

The "audacity of hope"...It's a powerful potion for all ages, not just Generation "WE." I wrote about "marketing hope" awhile back on this post Inconvenient Truth Meets Digital Earth and am in a bit of deja vu, balancing equal parts challenge and roll up the sleeves pragmatics... I wonder what category I ended up in via Facebook’s “largest online rally in … [Read more...]

The Age of Conversation 2: A Tribe of 237 Leading Change

October 31, 2008 by Amy Jussel 20 Comments

AOC2--Double the flavor, double the fun! (quick, name that ad!) The ever prolific Seth Godin of Purple Cow fame (yes, I’m proud to be one...moooo!) has a new book out called “Tribes” reinforcing the notion that if you give a loosely connected group a way to communicate, a leader, and an idea, entire movements can take shape with substantive outcomes. … [Read more...]

Media Simulations Where Kids Cast Their Vote: Silly or Sage?

October 14, 2008 by Amy Jussel 7 Comments

I vote sage. But you probably figured that. Sunday's Kids Pick the President Nickelodeon News special fell off my radar...even with Linda Ellerbee’s encouragement to get in the practice of voting, “because the next four years affects your future as much as any adult.” (ahem, maybe more, kidlets!) Truth is, I missed posting yesterday because kids were … [Read more...]

Want Change? Obama or McCain, It’s In The Bag

September 30, 2008 by Amy Jussel 2 Comments

Leave it to our consumptionist culture to create a “Make A Change” designer handbag with a cause-marketing twist. A portion of the proceeds go to Rock the Vote, but I dare say at $95 a pop, teens are not the target market here. Any over-spent millennials with student loans out the wazoo want to fork out $95 to help your peers Rock the Vote? I say give it to … [Read more...]
