Stand with #UpForSchool for Girls Education

I can't believe I'm sharing this photo! This was taken a few months after a catastrophic haircut when an inexperienced stylist attempted to layer my long, thick hair. The next day, the salon owner had to cut off my hair to a short pixie cut to try to make it livable while it grew out. I have not had my hair styled shorter than chin length at any time since.

So, why am I doing this? It's for a good cause. I'm joining with legions of women around the world sharing my childhood school photo in thanks for the simple opportunity to go to school.

I'm marking International Women’s Day by standing in solidarity with the 31 million girls around the world denied the right to go to school and fulfil their dreams. Join me and stand #UpForSchool by signing the petition to secure a future where every girl around the world is educated and empowered to reach their potential. #IWD2015
