Sheryl Sandberg Instagram – Loved spending time with our incredible @leaninorg leaders from all over the world last week! Thanks to their passion and commitment, our community is larger than ever: more than 86,000 women have started Circles in 183 countries. And 13,000 women started Circles in 2023 alone. It’s always so inspiring to hear about the impact our Network Leaders have accomplished — from driving transparent salary initiatives in Spain to providing grants to help women in Lagos start their own businesses. One story we heard came from Tara Uzra Dawood (@tudawood), a Network Leader with @leaninpakistan. This summer, they brought @leaningirls to their community to help Pakistani girls lead boldly and on their own terms. More than 50 teen girls from different schools came together for the “Self Esteem in a Barbie World” event where they connected with each other, had real talk about embracing imperfections, and celebrated their unique superpowers. I’m deeply grateful for the ways Lean In Pakistan and all our Network leaders are creating safe spaces where women and girls can find the support they need to dream big and achieve their ambitions.
