Sunday, May 12, is Mother’s Day, so we are dedicating our May issue not just to moms, but to all women. From sharing information on women’s health and careers to shining the spotlight on incredible women making positive changes for important causes, we’re excited to share this issue with you.
In her book Girl, Wash Your Face, Rachel Hollis says, “Our words have power, but our actions shape our lives.” I thought about that quote a lot as I worked on this issue, reading about people who devote hours to cutting buffelgrass in order to preserve our desert ecosystem. Or volunteers who help run a community garden that feeds the underserved. At our Simple Solutions Summit, I listened to a panel of advocates from diverse backgrounds, all working every day to make important changes to clean up the fast-fashion industry. It’s important to talk about what needs to be done, but it’s inspiring to learn from people who are actually doing it. Inside this issue, you’ll meet a lot of those people.
