Happy 90th birthday to Dr. Jane Goodall! It was incredible for me and my girls to meet Jane after her inspiring event in NYC Monday night. I have had the honor of interviewing her many times over the years, and hearing her timeless wisdom on so many issues. And my daughter Lotus created the @BearsforCares project (with Jazmin) that is part of the Jane Goodall Institute`s Roots & Shoots youth program. As part of that project, Lotus has written a series of children`s books, including Jenny the Chimpanzee, which was inspired by Jane (and benefits JGI and Roots & Shoots). Jane was so warm to Lotus and wanted to hold the book (and Lotus`s hand) in the pictures.😊

The last photo is me giving Jane the We Are Linked Not Ranked bracelet I co-created with Gloria Steinem as a birthday present for all Jane does to remind us we are all "linked not ranked" – with the Earth and all living beings on this planet. As Jane once told me, "Every one of us makes an impact on the planet every day. Choose wisely. Choose ethically. And realize that it’s not you alone—together, collectively, we are making a difference."

You can hear some of the wisdom Jane has shared in one of our conversations on my podcast ShiftMakers (link in bio).

In honor and celebration of Gloria Steinem’s 90th birthday today, in my latest Forbes piece I share wisdom from my interviews with Gloria over the years, highlighting some of her key accomplishments and timeless messages (link in bio).

I have been so blessed to have Gloria as a supporter, mentor, friend and role model over my lifetime, and feel immense gratitude for her special role in my life and all the transformative impact she has had on the world. And as many of you know, back in 2013, I was incredibly proud to partner with Gloria to co-create a bracelet which benefits the organization I founded, Feminist.com, featuring a phrase that has always had deep meaning for her, “We Are Linked Not Ranked.” To honor Gloria, her partnership on these bracelets, and her trailblazing work across so many vital issues, 50% of all bracelet proceeds will now be donated to Gloria’s Foundation (@gloriasfoundation).

Visit WeAreLinkedNotRanked.com to learn more, and you can also donate directly to the foundation at gloriasfoundation.org.

Happy birthday, Gloria!

I am incredibly sad to share that my father Norman Schnall passed away last Thursday only a month after being diagnosed with terminal cancer. It came only 10 months after the passing of my mom, who my Dad missed so much. It was as if my parents were only meant to be here on this Earth together.

My Dad was an exceptional person, knowledgeable across a broad range of topics, who I learned so much from. He encouraged my writing and activism from an early age. He was himself a fierce feminist, supporting my mom in all of her ambitions and pursuits, and not only fully believed in my potential, but pushed me and challenged me when I perceived my own limits. He was also an incredibly proud, supportive and loving grandfather to Jazmin and Lotus.

In addition to being an accomplished advertising executive, he was an innately talented pianist and painter (see an example of his artwork in the slide show). He also loved his volunteer work at places like the Museum of Natural History and the Audubon Society where he nursed sick birds back to health.

I will miss my Dad deeply and treasure so many memories and life lessons I learned through the gift of being his daughter. And I love imagining that he is now back with my mom ❤️
