Celeb Activism continued!


Welcome to 2014! I know it's July, but I had a pretty intense last semester that involved trips across America and then to Europe to learn stuff that I'll bring up in another blog post because I'm going to keep this short.

My last entry was about setlock and how Cumberbatch was using his fame to try and shape dialogue to current events that matter to the world a bit more than a new series of Sherlock existing does.Well now it's happened again with the beautiful Emma Watson, who has just been named an UN Ambassador to promote women. And the news was so popular the announcement actually led to the UN website crashing.

And on the note of celeb activism the creator of the character that made Watson famous, JK Rowling, donated a cool million pounds to the effort to keep Scotland a part of the UK, so there's that for celeb activism too.

While not many of us can be that publically involved in the political process as an advocate it's important to still be aware and be active to the extent you are comfortable with.

Also in case you haven't heard yet Rowling released a new short story so that's cool.

Until next time!
