As a "founding mother" when WorldPulse was first born, I helped transition our print magazine to a digital platform to amplify women's voices from every continent.

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. I write web articles and other digital pieces as part of 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.
