SHE CAN WILL CHANGE THE WORLD
My year was impacted by so many great women.
Women who care about our world.
They care about equal rights for women in our own city, our country and throughout the world.
They care about accessibility to; education, safety, freedom from violence, family health, reproductive options, freedom of speech, religious rights, human rights.
They fight to protect those women and girls throughout our world who are suppressed, held captive, pushed back, shut out and turned off.
They believe that all women should have rights, know their rights and be free to grow and prosper.
I salute the women who stand up for those who can't stand up for themselves.
I applaud all those who reach out and extend their hand to help heal.
I appreciate and support those who make it their mission each day to give a little girl the chance to become a powerful and free woman; allowing her to know her rights and move into her full potential.
So I thank the women - known and unknown - mothers, aunts, grandmothers, neighbors, teachers, policymakers, philanthropists, doctors, celebrities, athletes, police and military officers, physicians, writers, journalists, ministers, performers, designers, pharmacists, lawyers, managers, chief executives, nurses, researchers, developers, therapists, etc. - who make a difference every day.
Thank YOU!

WOMEN MOVING MILLIONS
"We are at an interesting moment in our history as it relates to women and girls. On the one hand, women continue to be more economically disadvantaged, experience much more violence, earn less and are dramatically underrepresented in positions of leadership across all sectors. On the other hand, now more then ever women control the purse strings in terms of purchasing power, are increasingly the holders of wealth, are outperforming educationally in the western world and are starting and growing businesses at a much faster rate than men. . ."
