Had the honor of writing a chapter in the important book 2015 about the right to asylum. Thank you to the small, yet powerful team at @Tjugofemtonbok #asylrätten #asylum

We stand with the people and women of #sudan as this crisis goes on - and the humanitarian situation is affecting 15 million people.

"Tell me about your day..." ~ the invitation itself radiates love... #storytelling #ThePowerOfStories

@SayItForwardNow A4. I think showing people that we are interested in their story and letting them know that they HAVE a story to share in a part of helping them claim the power of their story. #ThePowerOfStories

We also try to encourage others to claim the power of their story through the girlsglobe.org platform, where we invite activists, advocates, experts and organizations to share their important stories in support for movements of change worldwide. #ThePowerOfStories

@DrMichelleF @AjmaniK Yes, the hope and connection that storytelling provides is a lifeline in difficult times. That's why stories are SO powerful to create change in our own lives, in communities and across the world. #ThePowerOfStories

My story keeps unfolding and it's powerful to see how it has been shaped by brave decisions, amazing connections and experiences. It inspires me to continue to boldly shape my own story! A3 #ThePowerOfStories

The stories of changemakers, activists, advocates & organizations inspire us EVERY DAY. It is because of them that Girls' Globe exists - to amplify their important voices and share their stories. Because their stories will inspire action. #ThePowerOfStories

Personally, storytelling has shaped the way I see the world. It helped me define my purpose to stand up for gender equality, human rights and our world - through the stories I heard from women and girls around the world. A1 #ThePowerofStories

@JanetNestor @SayItForwardNow @GirlsGlobe Hi Janet! Great to see you as well! #ThePowerOfStories

@juliasglobe @SayItForwardNow @GirlsGlobe Hi Juliia! Good to see you again. #ThePowerOfStories

So happy to join #ThePowerOfStories today to celebrate this amazing community that @SayItForwardNow has built! CONGRATULATIONS! I will be tweeting from @girlsglobe today.

Congratulations to @SayItFowardNow for 3 years of hosting #ThePowerOfStories bi-weekly Twitter chats! AMAZING! So much love and inspiration shared from a global community!

@juliasglobe right on! i was just reading last night how the energy of nature raises your own - we know this to be the case intuitively and now more evidence is building! #ThePowerOfStories

Thank you so much for this chat! Dinner time awaits me. See you next time lovely #ThePowerOfStories community!

My son (5) told me "DID YOU KNOW THAT TREES TALK TO EACH OTHER?! And that they help each other when they're sick?!" His teacher is an arborist as well, and teaches the kids so much about trees! So grateful for that knowledge at an early age. A4 #ThePowerOfStories

Nature inspires us to care for each other through its interconnectedness. One species relies on others for its survival - and so do we! We need each other and nature to survive and thrive. A4 #ThePowerOfStories

@sageandsavvy Me too! I love owls. I saw one sitting outside my window in the middle of Cairo, Egypt when I was a child. It led me to an expedition and understanding more about the beauty of the animal! A2 #ThePowerOfStories

A2 All of them but I have a deep appreciation for Owls. #ThePowerofStories

Nature creates calm, peace and connection to ourselves and the world around us. Studies show how trees and nature helps people increase mental health. Nature allows us peace to breathe! A3 #ThePowerOfStories

All wild animals - I love spotting any creature in its own habitat, from deer in the Swedish forest to colorful fish and sharks in the sea. I think I especially feel a deep connection with animals in the ocean. A2 #ThePowerOfStories

Nature is so interconnected with us all - we are not seperate from nature. And when I am in nature, it makes me whole. A1 #ThePowerOfStories
