Amplifying Hope | No. 57

Dear friends,

Welcome to Women's History Month! This year's theme, determined by the National Women's History Alliance, is “Leading the Change: Women Shaping A Sustainable Future.” Here's to that! 

“Don't ever underestimate the importance you can have because history has shown us that courage can be contagious and hope can take on a life of its own.” ~Michelle Obama, Former First Lady, Author and Media Host

I filled this song with women who amplify hope for me. Who inspires you?

“We are missing our heroines--women who have farmed, who have loved the land, who have sacrificed and made immeasurable impacts on farming and food in America. Through the voices of their daughters and granddaughters, we journey across America to meet these foremothers. In this uniquely matrilineal retelling of America's history, we celebrate the accomplishments and contributions of women in agriculture.”
