When I got the invitation from the annual virtual Women’s Empowerment Expo to be featured among the 40 organizations from around the world, I thought it was a joke. Maybe that’s because the Expo is organized by Harvard Alumni for Global Women’s Empowerment (GlobalWE) and includes CEOs, ambassadors, inventors.
I’ve always addressed the challenges that women face. My Radcliffe/Harvard time was more than a half century ago. Overwhelmed by their incredible attempts to build a better world, I’ll let others from the Zoom conference comment.
Let’s start with one of the facilitators, Christina Tobias-Nahi.
“I always enjoy the GlobalWE Expo — a plethora of opportunities for the over 100 women and men who attend to hear about ways to give back through modalities like mentoring or funding. A wide array of global presenters from nearly every continent shared slides about their work. A former panel speaker myself, I enjoyed facilitating two sessions so that I got to hear from and connect with so many inspiring women, often sharing very vulnerable stories of their ‘Why.’ Their work is more important now then even ever before.”
