FIND YOUR VOICE: ChickSpeak connects college women
By: Molly Armbrister
In an attempt to give young women across the country a forum for discussion, activism and a sense of connection, ChickSpeak.com has recently launched its communications Web site.
“I created ChickSpeak to be a platform for young women everywhere to find the power of their voices in the world and move forward with knowledge, strength and class,” said creator Christina Twomey in an e-mail interview.
Members have to create accounts with a university e-mail address to ensure that the site remains a safe and productive community for the women who use its services. Membership is free.
Once logged in, members create profiles, similar to MySpace or Facebook, but with a more sophisticated purpose in mind. For instance, members can keep private journals or participate in forums with other young women, stimulating conversation and provoking thought.
One aspect of the site is called the “e-mentoring community,” which is comprised of recognized experts who are accessible to any member who might seek advice. Members can privately message these experts to get help on specific, sometimes personal, topics. The young women who visit the site can get advice on dating, cooking, fashion and budgeting, which is updated daily.
