Best things I read this week, Jan. 18-24

Ya gotta read a lot if you want to write a little. Here are some of the best things I read this past week (not entirely intentionally an Oakland edition): 

"Children are more aware than we think; it’s important to not shelter children from real issues that we’re living. It’s especially important for young girls of color to feel empowered."

"Meet the Radical Brownies - girl scouts for the modern age"

from Fusion (@thisisfusion)

In "The Least Segregated Cities in America," a charts and data show at how diversity and integration match up in America's biggest cities, with Oakland near the top of that list.
from Priceonomics (@priceonomics)

"Hella Oakland Mix: 77 tracks to get your psyched about Oakland Music," which is exactly what it sounds like. 
from Oakland Local (@oaklandlocal)

And for good measure and good fun, "109-Year-Old Woman Says Secret To Long Life Is Avoiding Men."
from Huffington Post (@huffingtonpost)
