This #Frockstar sees the hard truths of girl #education in #GirlRising

As a Karina Dresses Ambassador, this #frockstar is proud to have represented such a great company at the Girl Rising screening.

It covers the stories of nine courageous girls from nine different countries around the world who stand up for the education of girls. As a feminist myself, I believe in equality of the sexes. There's nothing that excuses the right to education. Girls are just as important as boys and deserve a chance as well.

Oh, but you can't just go to any shop...you have to go to the shop that started it all located near the Galaxy Hotel. There are several options of pork chop buns or pork chop on noodles. However, we were so early that morning that we only had two choices so we ordered both to test it out.
