Earlier this week, First Lady Michelle Obama announced an exciting new initiative, The United State of Women. There will be a summit next week in Washington, D.C. full of terrific-sounding seminars. You can also get involved- there's information on local events and a blog. Plus, you can create photos with one of the pledges in the picture above, or write your own pledge, and share them on social media with #StateofWomen.
I'm excited about how the United State of Women charges us all to take an active role to making the world a more equal place for women, and a better place for us all.
Hats off to the First Lady for turning her substantial influence and visibility to the lives of women!
We are the United State of Women. When we do better, everyone does better. The United State of Women is a Summit being convened by the White House to rally all of us together to achieve gender equality. Today, we'll change tomorrow. (Who's who in the video.)
