Inspiring Women

As we head into a season of gratitude, we thought we'd also highlight what it means to be resilient and brave right now—and perhaps that alone is what we are grateful for right now.

To celebrate our second anniversary, we are re-visiting a few of the women, the words and the stories that have moved us throughout the past two years.

In collaboration with Boxed Water Is Better®, we chatted with Lisa Truitt who oversees the National Geographic Encounter in Times Square. Her goal? Provide visitors with an "emotional connection to the ocean, and a real appreciation for its beauty."

Erin Ashe is a force — her passion and mission is to protect our oceans and the marine life that inhibits it. As a scientist and co-founder of Ocean's Initiative, her daily work fully supports this dream of bold conservation and action.

Take a tour of this mother and daughter owned boutique in Tucson. The creative duo pulls inspiration everywhere: from Europe to nature and favorite childhood books, curated for those who are "curious and original."

Today we revisit a few inspiring women and their words that will hopefully ignite you again or, perhaps, for the first time.
