    In Defense of Millennials- Featured on GirlTalkHQ!

    Why We Should be Proud to Call Ourselves Millennials

    millenials

    This June I attended an event featuring a panel of all female millennial entrepreneurs. It was there that  I was first introduced to Asha Dahya, a pint-sized powerhouse Single Girl. Asha is the founder and editor of GirlTalkHQ, a site dedicated to “female empowerment and inspiration for millennial women”. As she told her incredible journey from Australian TV star to blogger and women’s empowerment expert I knew I there was a future collaboration meant for GTHQ and TSD.

    I’m honored to say that Asha agreed. Last week she shared with us a post about the struggle she’s faced in finding her identity and the lessons that its taught her, an inspiring read you’ll definitely want to check out!  Today I’m excited to announce that our post is being featured on GirlTalkHQ.

    For awhile I’d thought about writing a post about why I’m proud to be one of the millennials. I’ve met amazing people who make up this generation and are improving the world for the better. Yet, the negative anecdotes about millennials still seem to outweigh the positive ones. In defense of our generation, I’d wanted to rework the most common criticisms we receive and share the version that they translate to in my ears.

    Head on over to GirlTalkHQ to see what I have to share!

    Superbly Single,

    Jordan Hamons of The Hungry Traveler Takes an Unexpected Leap from Marketing Maven to Queen of the Kitchen

    “Take the risk and pursue what you love”

    The Hungry Traveler has us aching for the finer things in life. Its pages tease us with images of foods we want to feast on in places we want to add to our passports. For those of us with a passion for food and travel, the blog serves as an escape into an idealistic world we wish to inhabit.

    Except that to call it idealistic wouldn’t be completely fair because the girl behind the blog, actually does live in this world. An unexpected change of events led Jordan Hamons off the road to a career in marketing onto one toward a career in the kitchen.  Lucky for us, she’s sharing the journey and her advice for other Single Girls feeling the itch to change course.

    A Shout Out to Our Amazing Contributors, Our Single Girls

    single-girls

    As we celebrate 1 year of The Single Diaries we would be remiss not to recognize the Single Girls who have contributed to the making of this site. From our long-time friends to friends whom we’ve recently met, there are nearly 50 amazing women whose talents make up these pages.

    The posts that they have contributed are as varied as the women themselves. Some have shared their advice through original articles. Others have let us tap their talents for an interview. While still others have shared their words of wisdom for posts Catherine and I have put together.

    No matter the method, the result remains the same. We are always inspired by their passion, ability, and fortitude. We’ve:

    • Learned from their adventures in romance.
    • Explored the world through their travels.
    • Gotten to know the cities they call home.
    • Been motivated by their pursuits.

    Needless to say, we think our Single Girls rock.

    A few weeks ago one of our contributors introduced me to a dinner party game called “I’m a badass because…”. Everyone around the table was asked to share what personal accomplishments she was most proud of. I had two immediate reactions when our host initiated the game- fear and appreciation. Fear because I, like many of us, am not comfortable tooting my own horn. Appreciation, for having a friend that was pushing this group of girls not only to cheer for one another but also for themselves.

    When I thought about the best way to recognize The Single Diaries contributors I could think of no better idea than to carry forward this game and allow each girl the chance to express what she is most proud. See what they had to say-
