Being the Change

Girls Write Now Honoree Anna Klein on The Transformational Power of the Pen

Anna Klein didn't come to be the Senior Vice President of Global Corporate Affairs at The Estée Lauder Companies​ overnight— nor was she able to get to her position alone. With a background in theater and education, it was the perfect match of creativity and tenacity that landed Anna to where she is today. That same combination brought her straight to Girls Write Now when it was time to find partners for The Estée Lauder Companies' Writing Change Initiative. Learn more in this exclusive Q&A with Anna and mentee Palmares Bustamante from our 2024 Girls Write Now Awards.

Post-Election Art, Activism & Healing

Thursday, Nov. 21, 7-8:30 PM ET, Virtual

Join us for an open and compassionate Community Conversation to process the election. No matter your beliefs or politics, we have all felt the impact of polarization and violence. Writing is one form of resistance, and a way we can uplift one another. Despite the outcome of elections, we must continue to work together and to heal ourselves. We will begin this conversation with a centering exercise—and then talk, listen to one another, and create spaces for hope, joy, and new collaborations.
