Editor’s Letter BY DR. KINGA MNICH
Dear Readers, In this issue of ZIVA VOICES, we are exploring two distinct themes: "Speak Up" and "Adventure." To me, these themes are not entirely unrelated – for many women in many circumstances, both require courage, tenacity and the occasional stepping out of one’s comfort zone. What does it feel like for you to “Speak Up” in the spaces you occupy? For some, it's a rallying cry to raise our voices and to give power to words that need to be spoken. For ZIVA VOICES, it’s always about amplifying the voices of women and sharing the stories that need to be heard. In a world where every voice matters, we believe it's our duty to provide a platform for those stories that have often gone unnoticed. In these pages, you will find inspiring accounts of women who've faced adversity head-on, and by speaking up, they've not only transformed their own lives, but also touched the lives of others. They remind us that our stories, our experiences, our struggles are not to be kept hidden. Rather, they are to be celebrated, because they have the power to ignite change. 03 | SEPTEMBER 2023 - DECEMBER 2023
