In this special episode of Changing Narratives, we revisit the energy, urgency and solidarity at the Annual Walk to End FGM, hosted by the Global Woman P.E.A.C.E. Foundation in Washington, D.C.

Led by founder and activist Angela Peabody, the walk brings together survivors, advocates and allies to raise awareness, honor resilience and call for the elimination of FGM/C.

You’ll hear from changemakers who were part of the event, including:

• Angela Peabody, Founder and President of Global Woman P.E.A.C.E. Foundation

• Isatou Jeng, our TTA Coordinator, who received the 2024 Survivor Activist Award and delivered a powerful speech

• Karen McDonnell, Ph.D., Associate Professor at GW Milken Institute School of Public Health

• Severina Lema, Sinnah Bangoura, and Julian & Arnold DeShield, who brought their powerful voices and perspectives to the movement

From personal reflections to collective momentum, this episode captures the spirit of the walk and the powerful message: we’re not walking alone—we’re walking for change.
