Why do women and girls shrink in a classroom, boardroom, and conversation? This question made Educator Kristi Hemmer so mad that she quit her six-figure job in Tokyo to answer the question and solve the problem. For four years, she traveled the world on twenty dollars a day learning about social entrepreneurship. In the process, she founded Academy for Women's Empowerment (AWE). AWE has inspired thousands of changemakers around the world to disrupt the systems of power and create a safer and more equitable for women and girls. Kristi has a master's degree in education. She lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and everywhere else in the world, for that matter.
