We know that so many parts of the world are raw right now and in need of hope and beauty to cling to.
But for every moment of darkness we may feel, there is a moment of light.
Together, using our skills and passions as producers, writers and storytellers, we are committed to sharing stories of courageous women who are uplifting communities around the world.
So many of them are right under our own noses – they just need to be illuminated.
These women remind us of how much we are connected by our human experience. They show us how to make the world a better place when we take chances and choose to be brave.
Rest assured, for every dark headline that drains us, we’re both sending a thousand more watts of energy toward this ambitious endeavor. There is certainly no shortage of fuel for this fire to keep burning, and no turning back.
This is both of our dreams coming to life, and both of our free hearts ready to free other hearts however we can.
Our vision? A world where women can focus on what’s possible. Where one woman can – and does – make a difference.
xo,
