What is the Next Story You Want Written for Women?
55 FACES was born out of this question. We are in a time and place where new stories are about to be created for us individually and collectively. 55 FACES is a conversation starter where we are actively deciding on and impacting the story that we next tell.
What has begun is an inner and outer dialogue that is both transformational and essential on all levels.
Would you like to contribute to the next 55 FACES book? A narrative piece that poses the question “what is the next story you want written for women?” I want you, your experience and world view shared in this piece, that when shared between all 55 women and their communities, will be a beautiful piece, a time stamp and a vehicle for our collective voices.
The essence of 55 very different women from across the globe will be captured here. Regardless of who you are, where you are from or how you choose to exist, you have something deep within, that needs to be shared right in this very moment.

About Aspire and Michelle:
I created The Aspire Series four years ago and hold about 16 years worth of facilitation, social work and coaching experience.
It is a channel for what I want to see created in the world. The stuff that excites me most is bringing people together, creating EPIC conversations and creating and celebrating social impact and change.
I deeply understand that our lives, stories and experiences hold the keys to much of the change that is needed in the world and that our connection to self, others, our capacity to express and lead from this place are the instigators to fulfil the impact and change that holds meaning for us, our communities and something far greater.
I am a firm advocate of the fact that we cannot take the time that we are here for granted, and that our legacy must be lived in each and every moment. Our chance to leave the world better is here now, and it must happen as a result of us being here.
My greatest vision for The Aspire Series is that it is a global platform for women who are leading social change and impact and that every component of it offers the opportunity to best contribute in ways that hold meaning for them and their communities.
