And it was powerful.   In a world of sad and discouraging news, the women and girls we heard from were a bright light—a reason for hope, a reason to believe that the work we do together is making a real difference.   Don't miss the opportunity to watch, re-watch, or share this poignant experience with others in your life.  In the holiday season, this is a gift. Watch the full event here   The missing part: because in live events, glitches happen :)   Jennifer Smith, co-owner of Fort Worth Harley Davidson® and a long-time World Vision partner, was one of our SWSW Event speakers.    During the event, a screen freeze kept us from hearing her reaction to "Jacqueline's Story".   You can hear her compassionate and relatable response here—business woman to business woman.   Thank you Jennifer for filling in the critical missing part, and for all you do to make the world better.
