Redefining Glamour: Ruby Veridiano and The Glamourbaby Diaries

By niema  |  September 19th, 2012  |  Published in Featured, , , ,

Style and substance. It’s a combination that Ruby Veridiano embodies. Since we’ve known her, Ruby has been a super fly powerhouse with the ability to make you think, get all in your emotions, and want to change the world.  We’ve seen her command stages, fill pages with prose that kills the reader softly, and conduct on-air interviews. But what we’ve been moved by most is her dedication to social change and her ability to inspire the next generation of young women to be the powerful goddesses they are.

Enter The Glamourbaby Diaries. A workshop that empowers young women through words, helping them find their voices and be a voice for others. The ten-minute visual below gives you a glimpse of the type of work that Ruby does. Her use of fashion and media as tools to educate youth about women’s empowerment and Asian-American women’s history allow participants to see and feel that one can be both glamourous and revolutionary.
