In their own words, SheHeroes "empowers young girls of all backgrounds to dream big, explore interests, and passionately pursue non-traditional careers. Through our online content and video profiles, girls imagine their own potential by engaging with influential stories of exceptional, successful women role models across all fields."
SheHeroes produces high-quality 6-minute videos which profiles women who are exceptional in their field. These videos reach thousands of girls and boys online, in classrooms, and in after-school programs.
In their own words, SheHeroes exists dues to the fact that "girls face many obstacles that can negatively affect their long-term success. [...] studies show that a lack of female role models - in life and in the media - has been proven to negatively impact the health, self-esteem, and future career choices of girls."

The second awesome FB page is that of Women You Should Know. WYSK was started by two women in the field of public relations - Cynthia Hornig and Jen Jones - who saw a void in the media landscape and wanted to "give women and girls the coverage, content, visibility and support they deserve through a pioneering social enterprise." More specifically, they "shine a spotlight on women and girls who are striving, building, and innovating, changing the status quo, crushing stereotypes, and defying the odds." They also "cover topics, news and issues that matter to women and girls." Check them out on Facebook!
