After hearing the stories of lives changed by @maia_impact @GirlUpUganda @theactionkenya & more, this panel hit hard on the urgency & sheer scale of these issues. Educating & supporting girls has impact on dozens of other issues from poverty to innovation. Let's #GetHerThere!

[Girls Opportunity Alliance @girlsalliance]

Feeling inspired: @MichelleObama sat down with Amal Clooney, @MelindaGates, and Wanjiru Wahome from the @SamburuGirlsFdn to talk about our collaboration to empower adolescent girls through education and to help end child marriage.

#GetHerThere

[Girls Opportunity Alliance @girlsalliance]

Vilma and Maria Florinda shared how @Maia_Impact, an organization in the Girls Opportunity Alliance Network, works to empower indigenous girls in Guatemala.

“The whole world opens up when you listen to a girl.”

Watching this live is giving me chills, thinking about what we can build together--for the world, for the ages.

I've worked with Lauren. She's an insightful, creative, and experienced comms coach.

[Lauren Girardin @girardinl]

Welp. That's it. My clients have paused/canceled all our projects. I still have a little freelance writing work, but my other consulting business is essentially at a standstill.

If anyone needs a marcomms strategist, storyteller, community builder, or copywriter — get in touch!

After serving as tech support for my 6yo & 9yo's first @zoom_us calls, shared doc comment threads, & BYOD challenges, it feels like whatever the #futureofwork, it's probably going to arrive early.

Excited to support #nonprofit sector service & innovation through @comminitiatives. Fiscal Sponsorship is a great model for efficient impact--think #501c3aaS!

[Community Initiatives @comminitiatives]

@sbyrnes I sometimes choose to WFH because I need the extra two hours I'd normally spend commuting to get more done...

Raising a glass to local @oaklandspirits distillery. Totally unique Automatic #SeaGin with toasted nori and seaweed pearls martini--perfect for a crisp Oakland night.

Always wanted to try making a #dwrchampagnechair! May 2020 bring you many realized dreams (large & small!). Happy new year! 🍾🥂🎆🎉

Just got some chuckles when I suggested folks could use AI to improve outbound email right in their inboxes rather than sending around their orgs for suggestions. I'm going to bookmark this tweet, bc #AI *is* coming to even high touch #nonprofits & #fundraising.

.@lyft driver canceled my ride as I was getting in--too far. 9 miles. Come on, man. It's 10pm and I'm in heels. Why accept the ride? Luckily, there was another driver nearby and I'm omw.

@bob_calhoun 4.5? Felt stronger right away. However, in the next room, bae didn't feel a thing!

[Dee Dee Mendoza @OaklandDD]

Hello #earthquake Twitter. That was a pretty healthy roller here in Oakland. About 15 seconds...

[Dee Dee Mendoza @OaklandDD]

@jrichlive Good luck! Check out this escape room for kids in Blackhawk! @Dartmouth alumna runs it--haven't tried it yet, but I'm thinking my 9yo and his squad might like it. https://t.co/VeZ1sZCkXl

@omojumiller Wasn't sure if it was an earthquake or my children. Twitter knows all...
