Remember the film, "A Girl Like Me" by a young film maker, Kiri Davis? In her film she asked her peers about thier feelings about skin color and at the end, she recreate the famous experiment in which she asked children which doll they preferred, the white one or the black one? Heartbreaking and serious stuff. And to think that the Kiri Davis is just a teenager.

Well, Cosmo Girl is sponsoring a contest for best youth-made film. Let's all trot over there and vote for Kiri Davis. You know she will put the $10,000 prize to good use.

**UPDATE: I went over there and voted. Kiri is really taking a beating. Let's try and get some votes for her. (This is not the appropriate venue for a lecture on the DIGITAL DIVIDE, but I have a feeling that we are seeing it right here.
