In this live In Conversation event, Melinda will introduce us to the women she's met during
years of travel, humanitarian work and extensive research. She will share stories from her new
book The Moment of Lift: How Empowering Women Changes the World: stories that are
brutally honest, gut-wrenching, inspiring and triumphant. They show us how, time and time
again, empowered women rise up and bring their families and communities with them.
Melinda will also share her own personal journey to achieving equality in her marriage, finding
her voice and becoming an advocate for women and girls. She will explain how the women she
has met have called her to action. And at this critical moment, she will call us to action too —
urging us to drive progress in our homes, workplaces and communities.
This conversation will fill your heart with hope and the determination to empower yourself and
others. It will also ignite your sense of urgency, leaving you convinced that equality can't wait.
