Duxbury based Pink Chair Storytellers Magazine hosts Jin In
Jin In, a Global Actionist and Advocate for Girls will speak at Woodward School in Quincy on April 3rd.
Pink Chair Storytellers Magazine will host actionist Jin In, author of Cambridge University’s inaugural element on sustainability “Girl Power: Sustainability, Empowerment, and Justice," and founder of 4Girls Glocal (4GGL) at an April 3 event, beginning at 6 p.m. at The Woodward School for Girls, 1102 Hancock Street, Quincy.
The event is part of Pink Chair Storyteller Magazine’s “Pink Chair Conversation” series. The event is presented by New England Medical Group and sponsored by Kaizen.
In her talk “Doing Power Differently,” the author of “Girl Power: Sustainability, Empowerment, and Justice” will lay out the facts from the first-ever global data on female empowerment. In will share real-life stories of empowered girls tackling global crises like climate change, terrorism, gun violence, and war.
Her mission is to show the world that an empowered girl is a powerful force for change, and has been called to help tackle persistent global challenges like poverty, climate change, and insecurity.
Jin has worked with both Democratic and Republican administrations, White House National Security Council, Departments of State, Defense, and Homeland Security, UN Agencies, NATO, and grassroots organizations in 145 countries.
She is also the founder of the nonprofit organization, For Girls GLocal Leadership (4GGL) and until recently, she was the first Assistant Vice President of Diversity and Inclusion at Boston University.
Born into one of the wealthiest families in a then-underdeveloped South Korea, which offered no rights or protection for females, poverty became her new reality after her father died. Her mother immigrated Jin and her sister to the United States and it was in Texas where Jin learned from an unlikely mentor, that an eight-year-old immigrant from a poor country, raised by a widow, can change the world.
“Jin’s extraordinary work and personal story will be featured in our inaugural Power Issue, and we are honored to host her in the Pink Chair,” said Bridget Ryan Snell, Chief Editor of Pink Chair Storytellers Magazine. “Jin is a powerhouse, but her book and research are game changers for those who need data to prove the theory that empowerment of girls is the greatest untapped resource in any country.”
