Today, I allowed myself *not* to write a big post and publish it all over social media. I was about to do it, and instead started listening to this amazing podcast / Youtube video by Pema Chodron: The Joy to Do What Helps Us. What helped me yesterday was to joyfully exert my independence and freedom not to post, and to walk outside in the sunshine instead...

"Women hold up half the sky."
Half Sky Writing was born from Half Sky Journeys
My name is Ila Asplund. My vision is to increase the impact of organizations advancing gender equity and social justice. I do this through creating in-person and digital engagement experiences, storytelling, and thoughtful communications strategies for my clients. In previous years, I also provided international journeys to give travelers the opportunity to meet and engage with global leaders who are improving life for women.
Since 2020, I have joined the digital marketing team at Mercy Corps — an international aid organization working in 40+ countries to help people survive crises and thrive in the longterm. From time to time, I write web articles and other digital pieces, in my role managing the email outreach program. Sometimes I find a moment to draw or write or create and share that on Instagram or here on this website.
