Lisa Byrne has a web site called the Well Grounded Life. She is an author and holistic health counselor. And a mom. And a business person.

Lisa uses video to support her mission to help moms replenish and support themselves and their communities.



In this video, she talks about planning for a sustained change that will be more effective than a rush mission of purpose.

Sasha Sumner - WaterYouGonnaDo

Sasha's video is simple. What is the connection to water and life? In the notes that accompany this video she writes:
Hydraulic fracturing, known as “fracking” for short, is a means of extracting gas from underground through pressurized injection of water, sand and chemicals. The process not only releases the gas, but also contaminates the water and air with radioactive materials, heavy metals, and toxic chemicals.



Now view the video with that information in your mind. It does put a different swing on it. You can view more of Sasha's videos at her Vimeo page.

Speaking for Planned Parenthood - Video Advocacy

One of the things that I feel is important is that video can provide a platform for women to share their own thought and feelings about a topic. Not a talking point or a position from a non-profit but from a specific person's point of view.



Beyond the posturing and misogyny running rampant this is Andrea Grimes telling how de-funding Planned Parenthood will affect her life. This is an example of how web video can be used to present your views on a topic. You can read more about Andrea at her blog or her channel on YouTube.
