CGG got to talk to lots of big-shot ladies at the Gracies.
Here’s just a sample of who said what:

CGG was so excited to be in the same room as Dr. Maya Angelou at the Gracie Awards, but we weren’t the only ones.
So many recipients cited the icon in their acceptance speeches that the evening may as well have been called The Mayas instead.

The original idea was conceived by a fellow friend, John Yturralde. Yturralde first began this project by having a school-wide school-supply drive in May 2007. He then donated the supplies to schools in Uganda as part of his missionary work in summer of 2007.
The school's world history teacher, Ms. Ellen Bergan influenced a group of my friends and I to do more within the school. She left us with a challenge that as Student Council leaders, we should not be focusing on dances and pep rallies, but rather the politics of a school such as students' rights, voice, and opinions.

Human trade and the buying and selling of people are not issues that echo a brutal and distant time in our past. Countless women, men, and children around the world suffer in silence in slave-like situations of commercial sexual exploitation and forced labor from which they cannot free themselves. Trafficking in persons is one of the greatest human rights challenges of our time.

The Prizm Project is a global organization that educates young women ages 14 to 25 about human rights and gives them the resources they need to create social change. This is done through ' retreats,' fun and intensive free-of-cost programs designed especially for young women. Through the use of native field organizers PRIZM enables young women to talk about the issues most relevant and important to their lives.

Nothing But Red is an anthology (in the works) of essays responding to a recent "honor killing" in Iraq. The victim was seventeen-year-old Du'a Khalil. Her crime was falling in love with a Sunni Muslim boy. In response to the tragedy, a group of people are collecting essays, short stories, poems, and visual art for an anthology that will be entitled "Nothing But Red." The title came from a blog post by Joss Whedon, who is best known for creating Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The phrase describes the look of Du'a's face in the video onlookers took on their camera phones.
