We have officially selected six powerful mujeres to share their stories at the 2022 #WeAllGrow Summit! The sixth edition of our beloved Storytellers event, brought to you by our partners Pure Leaf, will be an inspiring comeback exploring the theme “Saying NO to Say YES to Me.”
Since 2015, the #WeAllGrow Summit has hosted six incredibly courageous mujeres to share their truth on the Storytellers stage, and it is incredible to witness the resilience and talent within our community continue to expand. What was originally intended to be a session showcasing our community’s diverse voices has evolved into an event that is so much more.
We are overjoyed by the record number of submissions we’ve received and are grateful for the opportunity to have connected with so many amigas on a deeper level. Choosing the finalists was not an easy task. But, together with a panel of judges comprised of the Pure Leaf team, Kathy Cano-Murillo, and #WeAllGrow, six finalists have been selected to shine on a platform made for nuestras historias! They truly embody this year’s focus, and their stories undoubtedly will inspire you to say NO to say YES to your truth, path, and life.
Join Pure Leaf, SeekHer, and the full #WeAllGrow team in congratulating the 2022 #WeAllGrow Storytellers! Get ready to laugh, cry, and be inspired by their beautiful stories of transformation and enlightenment.
