Feminism and #DNC2012 [View all]

Last edited Tue Sep 4, 2012, 03:24 PM - Edit history (1)

I thought this would be a cool time to look at the kick-ass women going into The Main Event this week. I don't know all of the upcoming events, but I thought we could collectively put together some highlights of women at the Democratic National Convention.

My picks today--PBS's all female line-up Gwen Ifill and Judy Woodruff team up as a historical first for a network's convention coverage:




Also today from CarolinaFest 2012, the festival in Charlotte, NC kicking off events my new girlcrush Janelle Monae who opened with an amazing set:





""I'm here today because I support a man who's looking out for women." Janelle Monae #carolinafest #DNC2012"

(I hope someone will upload some video from her performance today. I'll keep checking.)

edit--link to a page with a nice video of highlights: http://oldschool1053.com/2960176/janelle-monae-wows-fans-at-democratic-national-convention-video
