Watching Mia Kirshner walk into the Harvard Bookstore Friday night was like watching television happen right in front of me. She waltzed in, made a face that she often does in her moments of excitement while playing Jenny Schecter (character on The L Word ).  I knew as soon as she walked in, that I was “star struck.”  I am not much for being awe-struck by seeing celebrities, but seeing a character from my favorite television show was really a lot of fun.  She was amazingly modest and genuinely kind, she seemed gentle by nature and sincerely concerned about the topic at hand. It is nice to know that some people are just how you imagine them to be.

Her book, I-Live-Here, is about raising awareness of the atrocities that are happening in four specific areas of the world. Her book is sponsored by Amnesty International and all proceeds of the book goes directly to them. To read more about her cause/book: http://i-live-here.com/#
