When I was 8 years old, I wanted to travel the world as a National Geographic photographer. My parents had moved to Canada and then to the United States when I was just a baby. From them, I knew that there was a whole wide world out there filled with exciting people and places. What 8-year-old-me hadn’t grasped yet was how challenging the world is for so many people. That came later. The more I traveled and learned about life’s realities, the more I realized how different women’s lives are in other places, how interconnected we all really are, and how I could make a difference.
