I've become more and more intrigued with Tavi Gevinson's life ever since we watched her appearance on the Colbert Report. I watched her TED Talk, and my infatuation with her turned into admiration.
Firstly, I knew she was young, but a sophomore in high school?? I couldn't imagine standing in front of all of those people and even attempting to appear as calm as she is in the video.
Secondly, I loved her PowerPoint presentation. Not only was it funny, but it represented a lot of what is on the Internet today. She was able to appeal to a wide range of age groups while maintaining a modern attitude toward feminism.
All in all, I look up to Gevinson, despite her being four years younger than me. Her commitment to what she does is inspiring, and her online magazine exemplifies and encourages the progression of women. It's a perfect blend of pop culture and feminist ideals.
