Spilled Milk

Welcome!

My name is Hannah and I am the creator of Spilled Milk. For a long time, I've wanted to do something with my life. But I never knew exactly what. I love politics, I love music, I love art, I love writing, and I just couldn't figure out a way to make it all fit together in one conglomerate whole. But that changed last night when  I was sent an email from my wonderful Aunt Joanna.

It was a TED presentation given by 15-year-old Tavi Gevinson who runs not only The Style Rookie, but Rookie Mag. It got me thinking. I want to create something that people can be a part of and take safety in. So here I go.

Now, a little bit of an explanation. Why is it called Spilled Milk? Well, it's all because of this guy, to the right. 

His name is Harvey Milk. On January 8, 1978 he was sworn in as California's first openly gay man to be elected into a public office. He served as an inspiration to countless people, giving them hope for the future and pride in who they are. Sadly, his life was taken by Dan White on November 27 of that same year. 

Though Harvey Milk's time in office was short, he will live on in our hearts forever. He taught us that no matter what, we stand up for what is right despite the circumstances. After all, there is no use crying over spilled milk.

So glad you're here,

Hannah

His passion is spilling onto our generation. His hope is becoming our hope.
