from The WECAN Podcast

Can a lawyer change the world from the top of a mountain? In today's episode, Stephanie welcomes back Anjali Mehta, a trailblazing human rights and law of war attorney, professional dancer, and elite athlete on a mission to shatter glass ceilings and scale the world’s highest peaks. Anjali is currently pursuing the Explorer’s Grand Slam, aiming to be the first Indian-American woman to reach the North and South Poles and summit the highest peak on every continent. From her recent expedition to Mount Vinson in Antarctica to her work representing survivors of gender-based violence (GBV), Anjali’s story is a masterclass in resilience and intersectional advocacy. In this video, you will learn about: Human rights and law; The Power of We and how her nonprofit combines art, law, and movement to combat gender-based violence globally; elite mountaineering and more. "I want to show young girls that no dream is too big to pursue."
