This new Verizon commercial has a very powerful message. What are you telling our girls? Are the things that we tell them molding their future?

Their new initiative called #InspireHerMind is aiming at getting girls to get more involved into maths, sciences and technology. The video starts with a young girl in different situations as she is growing up. Through out the video she hears her parents make remarks such as "Don't get your dress dirty" and "Who's my pretty girl." At the end of the video, we see the young girl ignore the science fair sheet, something she had a gift and interest in growing up, to arrange her lip gloss.

The stats are shocking as well. 66% of 4th graders say they are interested in science and math but only 18% of them continue into getting engineering majors. 

"Isn't it time we told her she's pretty brilliant too."
