Wow, it’s that time of year again! I’ll do an official end-of-year newsletter-style post next week. And I promise to have photos from some of my travels this year. But for today, I leave you with something I’ve been meaning to post since it came out a couple weeks ago: BBC’s 100 Women 2021 list.
This is a list of “100 inspiring and influential women from around the world” for this year. These women may not all have made physical journeys, but they have made a difference in the world in many ways. Around half of the women on the list this year are from Afghanistan, where I left my heart several years ago. One of them is Shamsia Hassani (listed as from Iran because she was born there), an artist whom I’ve written about before.
I hope you will be as inspired as I was by reading this. Whether you celebrate Christmas or other holidays this time of year, this is my gift to you. Here’s the link to the list:
