Recently I went to two events featuring the amazing Tavi Gevinson!
For those who are wondering, Tavi Gevinson is the editor and founder of Rookie, an online magazine for teens.
She started with her own fashion blog at the age of 11 and was noticed immediately.
Over the past 6 years, her popularity has soared and many people around the world look up to her.
She has also helped publish the Rookie Yearbook One and soon to be released Rookie Yearbook Two.
She is an amazing person!
As part of the Melbourne Writer’s Festival, I went to her talk named ‘Tavi’s World!’
The talk was engaging, exciting and full of humour.
She spoke extremely well and was very popular with the audience.
I also attended ‘Rookie Day’ and event in which multiple women spoke including:
- Katie Williams – Video Game Reviewer
- Jessica Alice – Community Radio Activist
- Linh Do – Environmental Activist
- Minna Gilligan – Artist and Editor for Rookie
and of course… Tavi!
It was a great inspirational day and I had lots of fun!
I hope you get to visit the MWF next year and have the same amazing experience I did!
