Today, we arrived at base camp and saw our first views of Everest/Chomolungma. Chomolungma, the Tibetan name for Everest, means “Mother Goddess of the Universe.” If the mountain is a mother, then it is in our best interest to elevate the status of women, girls and mothers around the world. That’s why I #climbforequality. Because the way we treat women sets the tone for how we treat the environment. I want to help disrupt implicit bias so we can see more women getting to the top. @keen #keenambassador
