A Young Girl Making A Difference - Girlz on the Move! 360

I love to hear about young ladies like this.

About a year ago, 13-year-old, Shelby Nichole started her own magazine called Girlz on the Move! 360. The magazine came about through Shelby’s annoyance with typical teen magazines that she believes focus too much on the outside. "I felt girls should focus on their insides, not their outsides. So I wanted to let girls speak out. If they liked sports or politics, travel or anything, they can write to us instead of just focusing on one thing," says Shelby, whose magazine has a current circulation of about 30. "We focus on their insides. On trying to make girls better people."

The magazine is a glossy, color quarterly she edits and designs herself. With contributions from other teens, Shelby's magazine features interviews with notables like three-time Olympic medalist Katrina McClain, includes black history trivia and, on a lighter note, lets teens write in and discuss wardrobe issues.

Shelby’s goal is to have Girlz on the Move! 360 keep growing until it dominates magazine stands. Go head Shelby!
