Get US to Forbes Global Women Summit
Donation protected
Hi family,
I'll keep this brief. Last week I found out I had been selected as a Forbes Global Fellow to attend the Under 30 Global Women Summit in Tel Aviv. The program is a 5-day conference of keynotes, panels, and breakout sessions around gender equity and female leadership. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity for me to connect with other young women and learn from those who came before us. Unfortunately my fellowship does not include the following:
Flights (right now ~$1800)
Accommodations (right now ~$500 for the week on airbnb)
I've been relentlessly pursuing travel grants but the program takes place first week of April, and the longest I wait, the higher these costs go up.
I'm so grateful for the many people in my life (mostly women!) who encouraged me to lean into my village. I've been reminded that it's not about me but about the resources and connections I'll be able to bring back to my people and the work I do. So I'm here asking you to give whatever you can in helping me get to Tel Aviv in April. Thank you for your investment in me and for any gift you can afford to contribute. It's not lost on me that we all have financial obligations, so it means the world to me.
Upon my return I'll send an update of the trip and how I plan to use it towards the ongoing work.
