Throughout, she shows how there has never been more opportunity to change the world - and ourselves. Writing with emotion, candour and grace, she introduces us to remarkable women and shows the power of connecting with one another. When we lift others up, they lift us up too. \u003cb\u003ePRAISE FOR \u003ci\u003eTHE MOMENT OF LIFT \u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e 'It is a call for unity, inclusion and connection.
