Fast Forward Girls pays tribute to several key cultural moments this year, from Amy Schumer’s “Girl, You Don’t Need Makeup” sketch, Beyoncé and Nicki Minaj’s video for “Feeling Myself,” and Misty Copeland becoming the first African-American principal ballerina at the American Ballet Theatre:
With the launch of Fast-Forward Girls, we’re celebrating today’s role models and the generation of girls they’ve inspired – the girls who have broken the mold, blazed a trail, and made it happen. In 2015, these ten women in politics, entertainment, sport, and STEM are the leading ladies that we all hope to grow up to be, proving that anything – and we mean anything – is possible.
Each superstar is played by a mini-superstar in the making, including Sophia Grace, Heaven King, Jillian from EvanTube, Sam Gordon, RadioJH Audrey, Annie & Hayley from Bratayley, and Flippin’ Katie.
From Elle:
GoldieBlox hired an all-female team to create the ad, which featured vocals from little Sophia Grace, the pint-sized rapper made famous by Ellen DeGeneres. There are also cameos from soccer star Abby Wambach, engineer Isis Anchalee, and football coach Jen Welter. And because it’s 2015 after all, the girls featured are Internet famous in their own right, and many have their own YouTube following. Even Beyoncé wasn’t this productive in elementary school.
