Cheering You On: from the Founder of World Pulse

Every day I peek into PulseWire to read your voices and assignments and every day I am awestruck. Sometimes I can hardly believe my eyes to see so many powerful women gathered together in a united chorus of possibility and determination. No matter what happens, to me each and every one of you are Voices of Our Future.

And now, you are embarking on the final assignment – speaking your vision.

Believe it or not, I didn’t always know for sure if the vision of World Pulse would come true.

When I first had the dream of an online space where women like us could connect, speak out, and create solutions to global problems, many told me it was unrealistic.

How would women from other countries have access to computers? What good would women talking and sharing stories do for the world?

Yet, I knew deep in my bones that it would be like a lightening bolt to hear women’s voices awakening across the planet. I knew you would come. I knew that together we could create a safe space that has soul and power. I knew we could cry, debate, and laugh across any border—but most of all, I knew we would support each other.

So many in the world are suffering. The earth is suffocating. And those in power have few answers. The time is now. New voices are needed. Your wisdom is needed. Your courage. Your collaboration. Your poetry. Your clear vision. Your questions. Your doubts. Your fears.

No matter your first language, grammar or spelling, show the world your heart, your life, your community, your nation. Show the world your leadership. Create the future with your words.

You’ve already taken the plunge and are bearing your souls in your journals. Don’t stop now. Keep going. I am cheering you on. Everyone is cheering you on. The world can’t wait. Tell us your vision. Let’s shake the earth!

Love,

Jensine
