Emma Watson tweets advice while answering questions about HeForShe campaign
You may remember that Emma Watson recently spoke at a press conference about IMPACT 10x10x10, the newest initiative in connection with the gender equality campaign HeForShe. She continued to make the campaign known as she took to Twitter to answer questions about the new project.
Last week, while at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Watson gave young women some life-long advice when they asked questions about how to change their lives. Some examples of said advice can be seen below:

@kevlownds @UN_Women @HeforShe keep your eyes and ears open and speak up. — Emma Watson (@EmWatson) January 23, 2015
The favorite, however, came in the form of a reply to a young girl who exclaimed that she wanted to become an engineer but whose father disapproved:
@lordvoldemot @HeforShe Become an engineer.

Replies came in by the pile-load from plenty of female engineers, giving their own encouraging advice:
@EmWatson @lordvoldemot @HeforShe I'm an engineer! It's hard work but we're changing the industry together! ?
