GOLDEN GLOBES
“Hi, girls!” Maya, the
traveling doll, did a pirouette on the youtube video to show off her fancy
black ball gown. She wanted GrandMom’s granddaughters back in the States to see
it.
“We have been very
busy. Your GrandMom took me out in my
black dress, and she wore one too. We
went everywhere on the island. We spoke
to women and girls about standing up for themselves. We urged them to use their voices loud and
strong to say NO MORE to any kind of female harassment. This is a very important message!”
“GrandMom dressed me in black everyday to show our support
for TIME’S UP. Yes, TIME’s UP for all
harassment of women! A real movie star
named Reese Witherspoon started this movement.
She asked women entertainers going to the 2018 GOLDEN GLOBES to stick
together and dress in black. They did – they
dressed just like me!”
GrandMom was proud to see that Maya stood tall everywhere in
her dress, even though she is very small. Maya felt proud to be at GrandMom’s side
supporting the rights of women and girls.”
GrandMom has a special message for her young granddaughters. She says, “My little angels, please remember,
it is never allowed that anyone harass you or touch you – ever. And when YOU USE YOUR VOICE TO SPEAK UP for
yourselves, you show others how to do it too.
Never forget you are strong, and your voice always matters!”
Maya enjoys being a visitor in Belize. But she has learned she can be more than
that. She can speak up alongside
GrandMom and help make a difference for women and girls – wherever she goes. She and GrandMom are a team now to support
women’s rights and that feels very good.
Maya also likes being a positive role model for GrandMom’s
granddaughters! And her black dress is
now her very favorite!
