About this Event


How do you move hearts before minds?

We’re bringing a literal trailblazer to your screen. Join us for an exclusive webinar with Friba Rezayee, the first woman to represent Afghanistan in the Olympics.

As a Hazara judoka and founder of Women Leaders of Tomorrow, Friba didn’t just break glass ceilings, she shattered them on the world stage in Athens 2004. For those 15-30 looking to make a real impact, this is the blueprint on using your personal narrative for advocacy.

The Olympic Journey: Hear what it was like to be the first woman to represent Afghanistan on the Olympic world stage.

Advocacy 101: Get real insights on fighting for women’s rights in sport and education.

Actionable Leadership: Learn how to use resilience and "soft power" to lead in your own student orgs and local communities.
