Empowering women through multimedia journalism and public relations doesn't always mean traveling halfway around the world. The Soroptimist Club of Whittier invited me to speak at their Feb. 15 meeting, and it was a dynamic group of women in business who are passionate about improving the lives of women and girls everywhere. They were a great audience for my talk about storytelling and political reform in the Maldives and how the techniques of multimedia storytelling can be just as important for anyone with a message to send or a product to sell. Preparing for the speech gave me a chance to get acquainted with the many good works of the Soroptimists, especially in the area of combatting human trafficking around the world. When the members join hands in solidarity and recite their pledge, I have no doubt that these powerful women will make a difference.
