Almost a year ago I had the idea of fusing my passion in media with the stories of people who are transforming their lives. It was then I picked up Jean Shinoda Bolen's book, Gather the Women, Save the World. I was instantly touched by Shinoda-Bolen's tenacity to unite women in order to make a difference. In fact, I love Jean's quote and refer to it often on our website and materials, "when women gather together, sharing stories is what we naturally do. This is how we learn and find encouragement, allies and ideas."
Today, one year later, I had the opportunity to interview Jean and discuss the importance of women coming together in order to lead the way. In our interview on this See Jane Do special on KVMR , Jean also shares her experience at the United Nations World Conference on Women where she serves on the advisory board. Jean also suggests what we can do to ensure that the WCW will occur again.
Also featuredin this episode are interviews including; Grass Valley's youngest city council member, the co-founder the Hospitality House and co-owner of the Holbrooke Hotel, peace activists, social media leaders and more.
The See Jane Do team has been on a search to find the real stories of real women who are doing their part and leading the way for the better.
Following the empowering experience of participating in the International Women's Day event in Grass Valley, CA we shared our interviews with KVMR listeners on March 11th, 2009.
