She went from being an 11-year-old fashion blogger to the 15-year-old editor-in-chief of her own magazine. What more do you need to know?

"The problem with this is that people then expect women to be that easy to understand, and women are mad at themselves for not being that simple. When in actuality, women are complicated. Women are multi-faceted. Not because women are crazy, but because people are crazy and women happen to be people."

2. She started rookiemag.com.

Rookie is, according to their site, "an online publication for teenage girls featuring writing, photography, illustrations, videos, and more from a lovely staff and our readers. The site features monthly “issues,” each revolving around a theme. We post just three times a day – after school, after dinner, and before bed."

It evolved from Tavi's blog, Style Rookie.

3. She takes risks with her style.

"Like, that's all you have to do. Because, my favorite thing about her, other than, like, everything, is that she is very--has always been, unapologetically present on stage, and unapologetic about her flaws, and about reconciling all of her contradictory feelings, and she makes you listen to them, and think about them."
