Malala Fund Charity Event

Lithium Magazine put together an evening of zine creating, bracelet making, and of course cake, where proceeds went to support the Malala Fund. The night kicked off with four self-driven women who discussed how they’re making moves in their fields. These ladies are making things happen at Light Leaks, the Wing, and Novella, an endeavor recently started by Abby. The walls echoed with topics of reinforcing positivity online and knowing your self worth. “Don't try to align your success with someone else’s,” Kim Hoyos reminds us. In our fast-paced world of social media where everyone seems to be living their dreams, that’s a good piece of advice indeed. Bianca Valle, who’s amassed a decent following herself, points out “It’s not real, it’s all a fantasy.” Attendees walked away feeling ready to take on the world, shining in their own light.
