Courageous Conversations: What Gave Birth to the Reading Journey? - The Girl Child & Her Long Walk to Freedom

Blog

Want to learn more about women and girls worldwide? About faith-inspired change agents? About how we can all come together to take action in our own hearts and lives to create a world where all people feel safe and equally valued? Read on!

The Girl Child Long Walk project is committed to telling the stories — sometimes hopeful and full of caring, sometimes painful and hard to take in — of those whose lives are impacted by patriarchy. While our blog often includes deep inquiry and tales of promise, you may encounter stories that contain traumatic events. We will never publish accounts that are graphic or sensationalized.

The Girl Child & Her Long Walk to Freedom reading journey launched in the fall of 2018 amid the #metoo movement. Since then, much has changed, yet many of the problems that inspired our work remain the same. So, in this moment, we want to pause and discuss: Why did the reading journey begin, and why is it more important than ever?

In this Courageous Conversation facilitated by Girl Child Long Walk Senior Project Consultant Marie-Rose Romain Murphy, the authors of the reading journey—Emily Nielsen Jones and Domnic Misolo—discuss this transformative experience that has engaged hundreds of people around the world. They also share how you, too, can put faith to work through love for the sake of our world’s girls.
