Crush Worthy

This week, the girls discuss the incredible voices behind some amazing change. First, Micaela raves about the resolute and powerful Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg (also known as The Notorious RBG)! Then Kat is obsessed with Sophie Scholl and the rest of The White Rose, a group of college students who used passive resistance to fight the Third Reich in Germany during World War II! We also talk about the importance of dissenting, jobs that are easy to apply for, and the popular youtube series "Buzzfeed Unsolved"!
