We have been inspired by the thriving women's movement. So we're building on that dialogue by sharing the stories of strong, empowered and passionate women from all disciplines and walks of life. Why do they do what they do? What gets them out of bed every day? How did they achieve their goals? What’s the biggest challenge they’ve ever faced and how did they conquer it?
The mission is to inspire women of all ages to pursue dreams, overcome obstacles and take charge of their own destinies.
