My girl turned 18 last month. Yes, I am in shock, (and VERY excited that she’ll vote for the first time in November!) I look at how vibrant she is and count my blessings. Then I count them again because there’s something called The Girl Effect mobilizing the world to help millions of girls worldwide who live in poverty. All they need is a chance. With education and health they, too, are fully capable of being vibrant, contributing citizens who can then change the lives of their families and invest in their communities.
I first saw this powerful video in February when I sat on a panel at the Brentwood School Young Women’s Conference. Should never have taken me this long to share . So well done and moving ~
During the Atlanta Summer Olympics, 1996, Nike ran an ad that said: “You don’t win the silver, you loose the gold.” I STILL haven’t forgiven them for that. But the fact that Nike Corporation started The Girl Effect is certainly good news.
What a powerful video! Thanks for sharing! I am heading to the website now. You have had an impact and become a step in the Girl Effect.
Wow Anita, that made me cry! Yes, I will look at the website. Very potent three minutes.
Excellent!!! What a nice way to start my day. I’m out the door.
Love your post Anita! Thanks for sharing this important information and perspective.
