Welcome To Our First Deeds Digest
Hello my fellow #ChangeMakers! And welcome to the Deeds Digest -- a place where you will find curated content that I hope will inform, motivate and plant a few seeds of inspiration leading you to consider ways that you, too, might become a greater part of moving us toward a more gender equal world. At the age of 53, and though I am fully ensconced in trying to fulfill my own obligation in helping us to create that reality, I find that I continually draw encouragement from learning about what other women are doing to confront and break down the barriers that we face. What amazing, indefatigable people we are!
Each week, you'll also meet a fellow "Changemaker" that we we'll be highlighting in hopes that her work will provide you with some ideas of your own.
This week's #ChangeMaker is 44-year-old Mahsa Torabi. On April 9th, she became the first woman to ever publicly finish a marathon in Iran. Her simple deed - running a marathon as a woman in a country often hostile to women's rights - was truly inspiring. She had to begin her trek at 6AM, hours before the 250 men. Read more about her victory lap against discrimination here!
Please keep sending us examples of women who motivate you in your everyday world so that we can lift them up as examples as well.
Thank you for being you, for all that you have to offer the world, and for your belief that each of us has a role to play in shaping the world we want to see.
