The ideology is asserted through action. withitgirl is about people doing things with the support of other people doing things, in a long chain of causes and effects that does not begin or end anywhere in particular. withitgirl arrives somewhere along that path - here and now - to participate in the development of ideas and action. withitgirl.com is part of this assertion. Through writing, imagery, design, and technology, we will be providing resources and outlets within our Sports and Lifestyle categories. You will find all kinds of perspectives here expounding on all kinds of topics: professional athletes, artists, musicians are featured alongside those just starting out, and budding writers share the same space as those with extensive experience in the field."
