Educating & Empowering Girls Around the World with Christina Lowery

Christina Lowery is the CEO of Girl Rising (GR), a nonprofit organization that uses the power of storytelling to change the way the world values girls and their education. In 2009, Christina helped found Girl Rising by leveraging her experience in documentary film and applying it to storytelling as an engine of social awareness and change. Eight years later, she led its transition from a film production company to a non-profit. Girl Rising tells stories about girls who face daunting barriers to their independence and stand up to them with determination and courage. Working with local partners, Girl Rising adapts these stories into culturally relevant educational tools to build confidence in girls and to change attitudes and social norms within their communities. Girl Rising is currently working in India, Pakistan, Thailand, Guatemala, Kenya, and the United States. In addition to being the CEO of such an incredible non-profit, Christina is also the mom of three children.
