Supporting women is a topic that is top of mind and close to my heart. I am often trying to look for ways to support women in all areas, safety, economically, empowerment, creativity, growth and the fundamental right to show up just exactly just as they are. Because I truly believe when you support a women you support whole communities and all the people that surround her. In fact its not just a belief anymore, it’s a fact.

There's a long road ahead of us

Its clear that something needs to be done, and that as women, we need to support other women, and lift each other up all around the world if we want to see real and lasting change. But this is where I always get stuck, what can I do? What can we do to help? GENERATION EQUALITY FORUM
What can YOU do?
Women are 50% of the population, if each one of us does nothing but speak up and support each other, we would create a momentum; a tidal wave of change with a force that could not be withstood that would demand change, as the wave breaks where water meets land, and women support women!!
