Hello all,
One last celebration of extraordinary women, as we move out of March and into April, this week of Passover, Good Friday, and Easter. My warmest wishes to all who are celebrating this week.
From the organization GlobalMindED "(an Inclusive Success Network™ creating a capable talent pipeline by connecting students to role models, mentors, internships, and jobs to get grads to financial freedom and economic mobility.)", we have access to a listing of newsletters featuring women in many different fields of life, each with a photo and story about how their lives and careers were shaped and what they hope to achieve through their efforts.
One of these really spoke to me, and I've copied part of her story here. I hope it inspires you to explore further.
Advancing Human Dignity, Intercultural Governance, and the Right to the Future: Meet Mila Popovich, Founder, EVOLving Leadership
"My journey has been shaped by movement across cultures, systems, and identities. I was born in what was then Yugoslavia, in a region marked by layered histories and resilience. Later, I made the United States my adopted home, becoming a naturalized American and embracing deeply the promise of a diverse democracy. Living between these worlds expanded my understanding of humanity and taught me that identity is multidimensional and enriched through encounter.
Becoming an American citizen was one of the most meaningful milestones of my life. I saw in the United States not simply a country, but a living tapestry of people from across the world striving and building together. That experience shaped my conviction that societies flourish when diversity is honored, voices are heard, and opportunity is accessible to all.
Having lived through democratic rupture, social collapse, and war, I learned the inestimable value of peace and social cohesion. These experiences shaped my commitment to strengthening institutions that sustain dignity, trust, and belonging. My work today focuses on helping societies reimagine systems that have often been built on separation and extraction so they can become life-centered and sustainable."
All the best,
Holly
