Laura Peña is a Dominican-American filmmaker, storyteller and passionate champion of every girl. She is the founder of She is the Universe: a storytelling, mentorship and community building platform that supports girls around the world to stand in their power and pursue their dreams. For the past few years, Laura has traveled across the world interviewing girls about their hopes, dreams, passions and struggles – and sharing their unique stories through film.

In this inspiring episode, Laura talks about her current and upcoming projects with She is the Universe, the impact of her work on women and girls around the globe, her favorite stories from interviews on six continents, and her steadfast belief in the ability of girls to change the world (when given the right tools and support). Let’s dive in!

Highlights:

  • What inspired Laura to dedicate her life to empowering girls through She is The Universe
  • How Laura’s in-progress video series explores the question of what it means to be a girl today, by spotlighting the stories of 111 teenaged girls across six continents
  • How an interview experience in Columbia prompted She is the Universe to start a scholarship fund that now sponsors education for five girls in the Philippines and Columbia
  • How Laura measures impact as a storyteller – and how she’s seen her work affect the confidence and ambition of girls (and women!).
  • The role of diversity, equity and inclusion in her projects
  • Laura’s efforts to expand the scope of She Is the Universe to include leadership/mentorship programming, community building through girls’ support networks, and more school sponsorships – plus the funding challenges she faces on this journey
  • How She Is the Universe has changed Laura’s personal life and is helping her heal her own inner child
  • How you, the listener, can get involved with She is the Universe as a supporter, volunteer or by sharing the stories of girls with your network!
