What began four years ago as a passion project for She is the Universe founder Laura Peña, has since become a global movement dedicated to empowering teen age girls around the world.

Having told stories to build some of America’s largest brands, Laura knew young women had powerful stories and ideas to share. She structured her non profit around the ethos that investing in girls changes the world. “We offer girls the support they need to stand in their own stories and to pursue their dreams, through storytelling, mentorship and community”, she says. 

Laura Peña is a Dominican-American speaker, filmmaker, storyteller, entrepreneur, creative producer, motion designer, traveler, and proud Latina. She is also a visionary and fellow lover of nature.

Here are some things you’ll discover in this episode:

  • - The power women’s circles and sharing our stories.

  • - Nature’s role in passing down feminine wisdom.

  • - How we can reframe the paradigm of competition between women into one of cooperation and collaboration.
