Barbies Everywhere!
Today on campus, it’s somewhere in the 1980’s. It’s the decade of decadence. On the radio, all the girls just want to have fun, and that includes Whitney, Billie Jean and Jessie’s girl. But we can also include one other girl, a sophomore at the University of Wisconsin.
Today we hear the true story of a journalism student who gets hustled into joining a sorority. It doesn’t take long for this smart sophomore to learn just what it will take for her to make the cut. Stay tuned for this secret look into a timeless college right of passage, a lesson not found in textbooks or online lectures – If something feels disingenuous, it likely is. But it doesn’t mean it’s not genuine for someone else.
"Barbies Everywhere" was written by Marie Newman, an amazing woman who served as the U.S. representative for Illinois' 3rd Congressional District from 2021-2023. Besides championing equity for all in Washington, this former congresswoman has also blazed her own trails as a noted author, podcaster, entrepreneur, nonprofit leader and marketing executive.
This is her authentic story, narrated by her, of a decision she was forced to make, once, in college.
Marie Newman is a former congresswoman, nonprofit CEO, marketing executive, author of When Your Child Is Being Bullied: Real Solutions, antibullying activist, former Moms Demand Action spokesperson and national LGBTQ+ advocate. In addition to those roles, she is a mom of two adult children, consultant and podcaster. Marie Newman is known for building movements and solving the toughest problems. Marie’s next book, her memoir, will be released April of 2025, A Life Made From Scratch. Her motto has always been, when you do not see the solution you desperately need, make it from scratch!
Marie has been frequently interviewed on MSNBC, CNN, Fox, NBC, ABC, CBS, PBS over the last decade for her congressional work and prior to that, her activism. She has also been interviewed by The New York Times, Elle magazine, Teen Vogue, Ms. Magazine, The New Yorker, Washington Post, USA Today, Chicago Tribune, The Chicago Sun Times and other publications.
