At last you are here! If feels as though we have been waiting for you for an eternity.
When I first had the vision of an online space where women like us could connect, speak out, and create solutions to global problems, many told me it was unrealistic.
How would women from other countries have access to computers? What good would women talking and sharing stories do for the world?
Yet, I knew deep in my bones that it would be like a lightening bolt to hear women’s voices awakening across the planet. I knew you would come. I knew that together we could create a safe space that has soul and power. I knew we could cry, debate, and laugh across any border—but most of all, I knew we would support each other.
So many in the world are suffering. The earth, she is suffocating. And those in power have few answers. The time is now. New voices are needed. Your wisdom is needed. Your courage. Your collaboration. Your poetry. Your clear vision. Your questions. Your doubts. Your fears.
No matter your first language, grammar or spelling, show the world your heart, your life, your community, your nation. Show the world your leadership. Create the future with your words.
The real journey starts this Wednesday. The world can’t wait. Let’s shake the earth!
Love,
Jensine
