![]() Q: What inspired you to write "The Three Mothers"? That was something that my mom always did very well, she would spend time just getting to know people before she proposed anything and she went to places that we're facing crisis - she worked in Iraq, Afghanistan, in South Sudan - because she wanted to know these places for herself and she wanted to meet the people. It's saying, 'I'm gonna learn about this for myself, and I'm also going to consider what has already been done,' instead of just jumping in and thinking from the beginning you know what's best for that cause or that person simply because you have a degree. Q: What does being an advocate mean to you?īeing an advocate means not only standing for somebody but standing and learning about experiences for yourself. They're sharing the stories of what they've done and for whom - unfiltered and in their own words. Nonetheless, we're taking time to amplify the notoriety of these changemakers. They may attract a level of celebrity in their communities and among their neighbors but they're not famous in a Hollywood sense. These people are making meaningful contributions but not necessarily in the limelight. ![]()
