Blue Soul CHATS™

Zainab Salbi acts as a humanitarian, a writer and a social entrepreneur who has dedicated her life to women's rights and freedom. She is the co-founder of Daughters for Earth, a fund and a movement of Daughters rising up worldwide with climate solutions to protect and restore Mother Earth. She has frequently been named as one of the women changing the world by leading publications ranging from Newsweek to The Guardian. Oprah Winfrey identified her as one of the women changing the world to People Magazine and President Bill Clinton identified her as one of the 21st-century heroes to Harper's Bazaar. In this episode, we talk about her early beginnings, her life in Iran and how she made it to the United States. Her resilience brought her voice to the limelight, where she became a host and executive editor of several shows including #MeToo Now What? on PBS. We also talk about spiritual awakening and the environment - what it means for us individually and together, as a collective consciousness rising to do the best thing for humanity as a whole.
At the age of 23, Zainab founded Women for Women International, a humanitarian organization dedicated to women survivors of wars. Under her leadership, the organization grew from helping 30 women upon its inception to helping more than 420,000 women and distributing more than 146 million dollars in aid. She is the author of several books, including the best seller Between Two Worlds: Escape from Tyranny; Growing Up in the Shadow of Saddam; The Other Side of War; Women's Stories of Survival and Hope; If You Knew Me You Would Care and Freedom is an Inside Job: Owning our Darkness and Our Light to Change Ourselves and the World.
