Emmy award-winning journalist Linsey Davis is on a mission to empower young girls around the world with her latest children’s book, “Girls of the World: Doing More Than Ever Before.” In this inspiring new venture, the ABC News anchor aims to remind girls everywhere of their limitless potential and capabilities.
Davis, a New York Times bestselling author, has already written five books designed to inspire children and celebrate diversity. However, with “Girls of the World,” she has ventured into new territory, crafting a narrative that teaches girls they can achieve anything and everything they set their minds to.
Challenging Societal Norms and Empowering Girls
In an interview with BLACK ENTERPRISE, Davis expressed the need for girls to be encouraged and affirmed, especially in a world that often fails to give them the credit they deserve.
“As you said, words like ‘brave’ and ‘strong’ are not always associated with girls, and I think that’s problematic,” said Davis. “I think it’s really important early on to spread those seeds, plant those seeds for girls to be empowered, for girls to be self-assured.”
A Living Example of Empowerment
As ABC News’ live anchor, Davis has facilitated conversations with people from all walks of life, including Vice President Kamala Harris. She credits her faith, strong support system, and unwavering motivation as the driving forces behind her success, inspiring others to believe in their potential.
“I always joke that I was either smart enough or silly enough to believe them [my parents] when they said, ‘You know you can do whatever you want to do…,'” said Davis. “I really did put stock in that, and so, as a result, I never felt limited. I never felt diminished. I always really felt empowered by my parents and, in that, I’ve always thought about that in terms of the types of messages I want to put out into the world.”
Davis’ passion for empowering young girls through her writing is evident in her body of work. With “Girls of the World,” she aims to plant the seeds of self-assurance and confidence in young readers, reminding them that they are capable of achieving greatness in all aspects of life.
Breaking Down Barriers and Inspiring Generations
As an accomplished journalist and author, Linsey Davis is using her platform to challenge societal norms and break down barriers that often limit young girls.
