I follow Christy Turlington on Twitter. For those of you who do not know her, she was a famous supermodel in the 1990's. She was my favorite model growing up, and for that alone I decided to follow her.
Many of her tweets focus of her humanitarianism. (I was unaware she did any of it!)
I checked out her website ( http://christyturlington.com/) and am very impressed with her work, specifically her documentary "Every Mother Counts" which "seeks to engage new audiences to better understand the challenges and the solutions while encouraging them to take action to improve the lives of girls and women
worldwide." The trailer alone brought me to tears. The site is packed with alarming stats, for example: "A woman dies every 90 seconds from complications of pregnancy. 90% of deaths are preventable."
This is a wonderful blog, and I applaud Ms. Turlington for not taking the easy "supermodel diet tips" on the web.
