After reviewing literature and theories on sense of self and self-esteem, this presentation describes research conducted by the Center for Research on Women with Disabilities at Baylor College of Medicine on interventions to enhance self-esteem in women with a variety of disabling conditions that affect mobility. Initial studies showed that face-to-face workshops based on social cognitive theory and feminist theory had a positive impact on improving self-esteem, and that improved social connectedness was significantly associated with this outcome. Second generation studies converted the curriculum to online formats and offered workshops in the 3-D virtual environment of Second Life. Pilot testing has shown equal effectiveness in improving self-esteem while circumventing environmental, transportation, and personal barriers that often prevent women with disabilities from participating in the face-to-face workshops. Challenges in conducting online research are discussed.

The truth about stories is that they are all that we are. Stories tell us about to think about the past, the present and the future.

“One Time for My Girls”: African-American Girlhood,
Empowerment, and Popular Visual Culture
Treva B. Lindsey
Published online: 8 May 2012
# Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2012
Abstract In this essay I examine how popular/public culture depicts African-American
girlhood and adolescence. Primarily using a hip hop generation feminist theoretical
framework, I discuss both the limitations and progressive possibilities of popular visual
culture in representing African-American girlhood and adolescence. The essay moves
from a discussion of a video that highlights the disempowering possibilities of mass,
digital, and social media for black girls and adolescents to a discussion of two videos
propelled by a black girl-centered discourse of empowerment. Each of the videos
discussed offers insight into the lived experiences of African-American girls from
historical, aesthetic, and expressive perspectives. I use visual media text analysis, hip
hop generation feminist theory, and social and cultural theory to discuss how these
videos contribute to the formation of a contemporary discourse of empowerment for
black girls and adolescents. Ultimately, I assert the importance of popular/public culture
for empowering black girls and adolescents, while acknowledging extant limitations and
obstacles in mass, digital, and social media.
Keywords African-American . Girlhood . Empowerment . Hip hop feminist . Popular
visual culture
Popular, digital, and social media are primary sites for engaging with social and
cultural norms and racial, gender, sexual, and class ideologies. For marginalized
communities, in particular, representation in mass media can both reify and challenge
stereotypes of their respective communities. Politics of representation often play a
significant role for individuals and communities seeking equality and inclusion. In
US-based mass media, a history of derogatory and dehumanizing representations of
African-Americans exists (bell hooks 1999). According to bell hooks (1999), very
little progress has been made in mass media towards debunking damaging stereotypes

of African-Americans of all gender identities. bell hooks’ focus on racial, gender, and
sexual representation from a black feminist standpoint pivots around the African-
American adult experience. Adulthood is central to her analysis and, more broadly, to
many discussions about an “African-American experience.” She interprets represen-
tations of African-Americans as a community without honing in on the particularity
of damaging stereotypes that circulate about black children. Although similarities
exist between stereotypes of black children and adults, it is important to acknowledge
differing stereotypes as well as age-inscribed responses to harmful representations ...

The Art of Protest: Culture and Activism from the Civil Rights Movements to the Streets of Seattle.

In the past twenty years or so, students of social movements have rediscovered the importance of culture. European theorists of post-industrial movements (like Touraine or Melucci), whose works were translated into English in the 1980s, have helped to inspire researchers to rethink their commitment to mobilization and political process approaches through a rediscovery of culture. Even some theorists most associated with the mobilization paradigm (Gamson, Oberschall, McCarthy) have recognized the importance of culture in protest.
In The Art of Protest, T.V. Reed focuses on the dramatic actions of U.S. social movements. His book serves as an introduction to the movements, but also offers a new perspective. The author’s claims are modest, his goal being to reinterpret and synthesize elements already available in the large body of literature through cultural issues. By doing so, he challenges easy distinctions between culture and politics, and questions how culture works in and around movements. From “We shall overcome” to cyberculture, Reed pairs each movement with a defining cultural practice: singing with the Civil Rights movement, drama with the Black Panthers, poetry with Women’s Rights, murals with Chicano/a movements, movies with the American Indian Movement, rock music with actions against famine and apartheid, graphic arts with action against AIDS, literature with the environmental movement, and cyberculture with the Global Justice movement.
The book’s main focus is the civil rights movement, with music and religion as the forms of culture at its centre. Although measuring subjective change or a change in consciousness is a challenge, Reed believes that “freedom songs are one of the best records we have of the transformation of consciousness in the ordinary people, the masses, who took part in the movement” (p. 14). Yet music did not enter the movement spontaneously. A legacy had to be uncovered and reworked, sometimes with radical alterations, adding political content to the emotional content. “Three clusters of events
in particular are key to the rise of both the music and the movement: the Montgomery bus boycott, the student-led sit-ins, and the Albany, Georgia, movement” (p. 16). A musical group from Albany, the Freedom Singers, played a role in singing the movement’s story and raising funds through their concerts, thereby bringing the movement’s messages to the North and to young people while helping to create a network for the Freedom Summer of 1964. Freedom songs brought people together and became “litanies against fear” (p. 25). Music transformed the personal and collective identities of the
movement’s activists; it was not the only force shaping the movement’s identities, but it wa.

[*The reference to the historically derogatory term “cripple” is intentional. It draws on Crip Theory and the Crip Justice movement, which posit disability as a valuable identity and challenge the traditional understanding of disability as tragic and undesirable. Cripping points to the systemic exclusion of disabled people, especially those who are of color, members of LGBTQ+ community, linguistically diverse speakers, and those with other intersecting identities.]

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

CAROL”
Despite Tiny Tim's banalities - his “little crutch, and
... his limbs supported by an iron frame," his "God
bless us every one!" his "plaintive little voice," and
his being characterized by his bereaved father as
"patient and mild" … there is yet another Tim,
lurking beneath the tedious little cripple, a Tim
whose identity might seem to contest the cloying
goodness of his own outward manifestation. This
subtle shadow of the Tiny Tim with whom all are so
familiar has an "active little crutch."
