About the video:
In the midst of personal loss and shock, she emerged—not merely as a scientist but as a determined advocate for change. Her journey teaches us that authentic advocacy does not spring from sympathy, but from common humanity.
The Echo Network she created brings individuals together across industries to co-create from shared value. You are a student, a CEO, or a farmer—your voice counts. Because in a world that judges too swiftly and changes too slowly, we need more to listen, more to believe, and most importantly, more to advocate with integrity even when no one is looking.
