Lisa recounts stories that profoundly changed her life and talks about how travel and going beyond one’s comfort zone is wholly transformative, making one smarter, more well rounded and more marketable.
In today’s culture of sound bite news, many important issues get overlooked, if they get covered at all. Lisa Ling has dedicated herself to shedding light on stories impacting the world in which we live.
In her presentations, complete with a lively Q&A session, Lisa shares a collection of stories from her over 20 year career in media that have profoundly affected her outlook on life.
Her hope is that through her experiences people may be provoked to think about things differently and allow themselves to expand their horizons
Rituals of Womanhood
Co-authored by Lisa Ling and anthropologist Joanne B. Eicher, the National Geographic book Mother, Daughter, Sister, Bride is a compelling exploration of all things female.
Each chapter reveals the actions that connect a woman with herself, her family, her community, and other women.
Ling presents the images and stories behind the book in this fascinating look at the historical, cultural, and emotional impact of women’s rituals.
