Michelle Obama, Amal Clooney, and Melinda Gates Unite for Girls’ Empowerment
Michelle Obama, Amal Clooney, and Melinda Gates have come together through their respective organizations, the Obama Foundation's Girls Opportunity Alliance, the Clooney Foundation for Justice, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, to launch an impactful campaign called Get Her There.
This collaborative effort aims to ensure that teenage girls worldwide have equal opportunities to thrive by focusing on improving their access to education, ending child marriage, and working towards gender equality.
The campaign has garnered significant attention, with Meghan Markle expressing her eagerness to be a part of it.
However, Meghan and Harry were noticeably absent from the recent kick-off event for the Clooneys' foundation.
The star-studded debut of the Albie Awards took place earlier this month on the steps of the historic New York Public Library.
As guests made their way inside, they were guided by an ethereal pathway created by large glass-encased candles.
The excited crowd cheered for their favorite stars in attendance, including Donatella Versace, Meryl Streep, Dua Lipa, Julia Roberts, Tracee Ellis Ross, and many more.
Yet, the absence of the Sussexes did not go unnoticed.
It is worth mentioning that Harry and George Clooney share a connection through their philanthropic work.
Clooney co-founded Not On Our Watch, an organization dedicated to combating genocide in Sudan, as well as the Clooney Foundation for Justice alongside his wife, Amal, a renowned human rights lawyer.
Harry, on the other hand, co-founded Centre Bail in 2006, a charity focused on the mental health and well-being of HIV-stricken children in Lesotho and Botswana.
According to royal author Tina Brown, Meghan's engagement to Prince Harry opened doors for her to form friendships with celebrities like Oprah Winfrey and George Clooney, thanks to their shared passion for philanthropy.
In fact, Meghan carefully curated her wedding guest list to include individuals she hoped to collaborate with in the future.
Interestingly, George and Amal Clooney, who attended Harry and Meghan's wedding in 2018, reportedly claimed to be unfamiliar with the couple when speaking to another guest.
Meanwhile, Meghan Markle is said to be hosting an exclusive charity dinner with special guests.
The event, organized in partnership with the Women's Fund of Central Indiana, will take place on November 29th at the Indianapolis downtown Marriott.
The Women's Fund proudly announced Meghan's participation, highlighting her role as a mother, feminist, and advocate for human rights.
Rabbi Sandy Sasso, a respected writer and community leader, will serve as the moderator for the evening.
Rabbi Sandy Sasso holds the distinction of being the first woman rabbi ordained by the Reconstructionist movement and previously served at Bethel Zedek in Indianapolis.
The event, titled “The Power of Women: An Evening with Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex,” will be an intimate affair closed to the media.
Meghan's lifelong support for women and girls has been evident in all her business and charitable endeavors, making her a fitting choice for the Women's Fund invitation.
However, attending this exclusive event comes with a hefty price tag, as tickets for a table start at $5,000.
The proceeds will cover the cost of food and drinks, amounting to an impressive $2,500 per table.
In the midst of these exciting developments, Meghan found herself facing criticism following her appearance on the Archewell Audio podcast.
Despite the negative backlash, sources close to Meghan revealed that she remains undeterred and chooses not to let it affect her motivation.
They emphasized that such trivial matters as criticism over a job she left years ago do not dampen her spirits or dedication to making a positive impact.
With the combined efforts of influential figures like Michelle Obama, Amal Clooney, and Melinda Gates, the Get Her There campaign is poised to make a significant difference in the lives of teenage girls worldwide.
