In 2019, just before Diana Kapp released her first book, Girls Who Run The World, Forbes released their “America’s Most Innovative Leaders” List. The list contained 99 men and just 1 woman. Upon seeing this, Diana wrote a letter to the editor, with a simple message, “we cannot see a list like this again”. Through her work as a journalist and author, Diana is changing this dialogue to be sure that female innovators and changemakers are both recognized and celebrated.
Diana’s latest book called Girls Who Green the World celebrates 34 inspiring women who are out to save the planet. In sharing their stories, Diana hopes to inspire and empower us all to take action, not only by making better individual choices but also by becoming involved in advocacy to make the policy changes that are so necessary. I have no doubt that this interview will inspire and empower you to be a changemaker.
