I want to congratulate the four amazing women out there who are this year’s recipients of the 2020 Summit Scholarship with AWExpeditions to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. I applied for this scholarship and it was an honor to be selected as a Top 50 Finalist out of 637 applications throughout the world. I applied in hopes that I could share my story of ED recovery through the outdoors, and although I wasn’t selected, I am so inspired by the stories of the women who have received the scholarship to go on this trip. Just having the opportunity to apply and be among the top 50 was amazing, and it has propelled me forward in my mission to use photography and storytelling to inspire and empower other women like me.
There are so many women out there fighting for equality and I am humbled and grateful beyond measure to be a part of a movement so meaningful. Read up on the four incredible women who were selected for AWE’s 2020 Summit Scholarship.
