  Wowo Women of the world

  Jun 2022 - now

  Founder

  The mission of the association WoWo Women of the World is to weave an international sisterhood, through storytelling, relaying inspiring messages from very diverse women worldwide.Since June 2022, I am immersing myself in the lives of my sisters around the world. To relay their voices, I started to make Youtube videos, women empowerment content on Instagram, and write a book.From slums in India, to indigenous communities or affluent neighbourhoods in Mexico, WoWo illustrates that being a woman, anywhere in the world, is a strength, magnified when we unite. Indeed, as women, we all relate, our voices echoe one another. Across our differences, these magical feminine connections, empower us individually and collectively. I am actively seeking professional collaborations to transform these precious resources I have collected into impactful masterpieces. Show less
