When Shannon Watts founded Moms Demand Action, she didn’t have a background in politics or organizing. She had a skillset in communications, a fierce love for her community, and a deep desire to do something.
In the early days, she heard a lot of no’s: “ You don't know enough about this. You can't do this. This can't be won.” But she didn’t take any of this as rejection and she didn’t stop.
She followed a simple formula: marrying your abilities, your values, and your desires. It’s the same path she’s seen countless women take: stepping off the sidelines and uncovering their power.
Shannon’s message is clear: ask yourself, “What do I want?” And don’t wait to begin. #shorts #hellomonday #moms #podcastclips
