If you really want to change the world…

If you really want to change the world, invest in women

Invest in the ‘planters’ who plant the seeds of the future

Invest in the ‘spinsters’ who spin the threads of identity

Invest in the ‘weavers’ who weave those individual threads into the fabric of community

Invest in the ‘tenders’ who tend to flow, assuring that all is well

Invest in the ‘rooters’ who deepen the roots

Invest in the ‘makers’ who make sure all are included

Invest in the ‘producers’ who produce well-being for all

Invest in the ‘risers’ who rise above to see what the community can become

Invest in the ‘visionaries’ who see solutions before most see problems

Invest in the ‘perennials’ who feed the soil so the next generation can root

Invest in their knowledge to grow community wisdom

Invest in women where they are rooted if you really want to change the world
