Cultivating more joy in #workingmotherhood at the corner of calm & chaos.
a piece on perspective
Melinda French Gates announced she is leaving as co-founder of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to start a venture that advocates for women and girls around the world. She’s wasting no time by committing $1 billion in new funding over the next two years to support people and organizations advocating for women and families globally, with a focus on reproductive rights in the United States.
"Despite the pressing need, only about 2 percent of charitable giving in the United States goes to organizations focused on women and girls, and only about half a percentage point goes to organizations focused on women of color specifically.
When we allow this cause to go so chronically underfunded, we all pay the cost. As shocking as it is to contemplate, my 1-year-old granddaughter may grow up with fewer rights than I had."
The world is simply a better place when women and girls succeed. Amen. ?? ???
