You're invited! World With Women Oct 13th

SAVE THE DATE! YOU’RE INVITED!
Be in the room where it happens.

WORLD WITH WOMEN a global movement for gender equality. (And no, this is not just for women.)

Sometimes you discover a room that you had no idea existed until someone made it happen, seeds were planted, networks expanded, and contagion (for good) spread.

Back in June I found myself in a room that I think may just reroute my future—and yours too!

In 1975, the women of Iceland helped show us what’s possible. 90% of women participated in a “day off” from work and home responsibilities, flooding the city with a joyful march. It was an opportunity for many to discover just how much women hold our society together.

Since then, Iceland has become the most gender-equal country in the world. It is also one of the happiest, with strong environmental protection. (It’s beautifully captured in the documentary “The Day Iceland Stood Still”)

Now it’s our turn, and this is your invitation to join in!

Being in this room reminded me of what it feels like to be part of something bigger than you. It’s wildly exciting to reimagine what’s possible for our futures.

Yes, the movement is starting in France, but the idea is it spreads throughout the world. (Think about the contagion for good I talk about in OVERRIDE! 📓).

Follow @world.with.women and visit their website to learn more about the movement. Everyone—yes, men too—are invited. It’s time to update the world.💛

It turns out these rooms are full of amazing people. There are so many incredible humans making this volunteer run effort possible. Here are a few I met that day @alinebrunette @marie.eloy @virginiedelalandeconferenciere @caroline.blaes @celineorjubin and big up to @itsaramel and @causier.coffee for the pop-up space.

If Instagram is more your speed you can find the shareable version of this post here (and of course follow the official account too.)
