67: Forget La La Land - Let's Talk about Malala Land

For International Women's Day, I wanted to choose something educational or technological. Then I remembered one of my favorite women, heroes, and role models: Malala Yousafzai who was shot at age 14 for advocating for the right for all children, even female children, to have an education. Undeterred, she survived the attack and has continued advocating since. I recommend reading her fascinating memoir (https://www.amazon.com/Am-Malala-Stood-Education-Taliban-ebook/dp/B00CH3DBNQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1489010459&sr=8-1&keywords=malala+yousafzai) if you'd like to know more.

Desmond Tutu nominated her for a International Children's Peace Prize and has been nominated and won more prizes since, including becoming the youngest Nobel Laureate after being a co-recipient for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2010.

Malala created the Malala Fund advocating for every girl in the world to have at least 12 years of education, investing in developing leaders in developing countries to help advocate and ensure quality education for girls, and helping amplify girls' voices regarding their right to education. 

Supporting Malala is championing champions, and a fabulous way to honor International Women's Day.
