OUR TEAM

Becoming a mother was life-changing for me. I'm aware of the great inequities in our world and I believe that if we each do our part, we can make positive change. With so much need around the world, and here at home, I hope to grow this movement and to make a lasting difference. It's an honor to partner in this effort with my mother who is an inspiration to us all. 

Reading Half the Sky was both enlightening and painful for me. I was horrified by the conditions which many women and children endure and I recognized my obligation to act on their behalf. Not only to tell the stories of oppression, but to concretely act by raising funds and in my own small way, attempt to “repair the world.”

I was inspired by my family and Half the Sky to make a difference, not only for my children’s world, but for a world of children. I believe that in order to build an enduring community you have to educate and nurture its women and children. By giving women the tools to save themselves, you save a community.

The extraordinary women in my family taught me about the power of courage and generosity. As we aspire to improve issues of education, health and equality, I know that the best and most efficient investment we can make is to enable mothers worldwide. Because we know that when we empower women their lives improve, their families benefit and their communities rise. We are small group of passionate change-makers and together we can make a difference.

I believe that investing in solutions that benefit women and their families positively impacts broader society. My goal is to help women reach resources that can help improve their lives. I have a background in social policy, a branch of public policy concerned with the ways societies meet human needs for security, education, work, health and overall well being. I'm inspired by the possibilities for overcoming socio-economic issues, through policy or other creative means, big or small.

As a mother of three, I understand the challenges and joys that come with this role. I believe that all women, not just mothers, deserve to be celebrated and supported. By being part of this movement, I want to make a difference and contribute to creating a more inclusive and empowering environment for women everywhere. By channeling our resources and efforts towards empowering women worldwide, we can help break down barriers and create a more equitable and inclusive world.

Joining the Mothers' Day Movement was a heartfelt decision fueled by my passion and background as a public health professional and social justice advocate for the reduction of inequities experienced by marginalized communities worldwide. Inspired by the creative simplicity of redirecting Mother's Day spending to make a lasting impact on mothers worldwide, this movement embodies a unique blend of compassion and strategic action.

I was moved to action after reading the book Half the Sky. Its premise, that each of us can make a difference, was very inspiring. It has been wonderful to witness the success and growth of the Mother’s Day Movement. Join us!
