Journalist, Filmmaker and Leader - Creating Life-Changing Difference for Women

So much a part of my passion for talking to women leaders around the world, is how much these women are making a real difference in the lives of others.

 And, yes. leaders make a difference.

I’m so pleased to be talking to Sharmin Shams – or as her friends call her - Moonmoon.

 Moonmoon is focused on improving the lives of women in Bangladesh. Not only as she was growing, up but in her career as a journalist she was aware of the significant gender disparity and the difficulties that women face. She’s journalist, writer and a documentary filmmaker and her work is directed at helping change attitudes towards women – and then directly to help the lives of women - in Bangladesh. 

 Moonmoon is one of the co-founders of Shantibari, a pioneering and much needed organization providing for women's welfare in Bangladesh and is helping women improve their wellbeing and their lives overall.
