June: Are you our next Featured Storyteller or Featured Changemaker?

"Communities and countries and ultimately the world are only as strong as the health of their women." — Michelle Obama

At World Pulse, we honor the power of your voice. This June, we’re talking about health because women thrive when they are in good health.

Health goes beyond the physical body. It lives in our environments: in the water, the land, and the spaces where we feel safe enough to live and grow.

This month, let’s talk about the health of the environment and the stories unfolding wherever you live.

When you share on World Pulse, your story can be selected for a Story or Initiative Award*, which comes with promotion and an honorarium of up to $100 USD.

Environment initiatives & stories

Women have always been guardians of the earth. Today, that role is more urgent than ever. Whatever you are witnessing, fighting for, or holding onto in the face of environmental change, tell us what that looks like from where you are, and what you are doing to make a difference.

Stories Behind the Headlines

History is unfolding right now, and you are living it. Elections, conflicts, extreme weather, moments that will be written about for years. If you are navigating an overwhelmed system, fighting for access to care, or watching a quiet crisis unfold in your community, your story is the one we need to hear.

Stronger Together

There is something powerful about a woman who lifts another woman up. This June, we also want to hear stories of collaboration, community, and collective strength. The mentor who changed your path. The network that held you together. The moment you realized you were not alone.

If you have a story about women supporting women, we want to read it.

Want to write about something else?

If your story doesn't fit those categories, that's welcome too. Write the story that's been waiting to be told. The thing you've been thinking about is probably the one we should be reading.

Tell the story only you can tell.
