CHRISTINA
LOWERY

FOUNDER & CEO OF GIRL RISING.

CHANGEMAKING STORYTELLER & FILMMAKER.

CHAMPION OF GLOBAL GIRLS’ RIGHTS & EDUCATION.

Christina Lowery didn’t set out to be a changemaker. Seven years ago, she was a journalist and filmmaker who set out to make a movie about the transformative power of educating girls. Today, Girl Rising is a movement, working in twelve countries around the globe, from India to Nigeria to Guatemala, and changing the lives of girls worldwide—and it’s become the most monumental achievement of Christina’s life. Watch her film to see why.

“ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I BELIEVE DEEPLY IS THAT EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US HAS A ROLE TO PLAY IN MAKING THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE. AND IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT IT IS THAT YOU CHOOSE, BUT YOU SHOULD FIND SOMETHING, AND DO SOMETHING.”

She’s found inspiration along the way from the extraordinary women around her. “The women I admire most are not just those who are strong and capable and confident, but they’re putting that to work to make the world a better place.” One stands out in her mind: “Last May in Guatemala I met an incredible young woman named Feliciana. She's in her early twenties. She grew up with an abusive father, in a culture that deeply undervalues girls, where violence is the norm. She fought so hard to be educated and pursue her college degree. And she’s devoting her life to working with communities like the one she came from and help give other girls a path to a better life. To me, that’s unordinary.”
