Smart Women Inspire Smart Girls

What are your Barbie memories? That’s the question asked by the sponsor of Amy Poehler’s new web series called SMART GIRLS AT THE PARTY, distributed by ON Networks.

Amy Poehler (SNL, Baby Mama, Blades of Glory) is one smart woman and she’s partnered up with her professional pals to create a series that celebrates how girls can succeed and make a difference simply by being themselves. Her co-producer friends are Meredith Walker, a former senior producer for NICK News and SNL Talent Development Head, and Amy Miles, a popular singer/songwriter and host of PBS’ Lomax: Hound of Music.

In this series of 8 shows (with more seasons already planned), Amy and friends interview each pre-teen girl to showcase the average smart girl next door. This type of show might have a real chance of helping other girls to boost their self-confidence. Unlike America’s Got Talent, American Idol or other shows that feature only the best talents in a few different areas, this show celebrates the diverse creative talents of kids like yours or mine. And at this young age a burgeoning talent of any kind (in girls and boys) needs encouragement. Perhaps a boost now will lead to a lifelong passion, a career path or something else truly great.

Check out the first episode with Cameron, a young writer.
