I’m so thrilled with my dear friend Jennifer Lopez’s new role. She never ceases to amaze me with, not just her incredible work ethic and friendship, but her humanitarian spirit. As a testament to that, the United Nations Foundation has just named her as Global Advocate for Girls and Women. In her new role, Jennifer will help amplify the call to action to address the needs and rights of girls and women around the world.

The UN Foundation had this to say about working with J Lo:

“We are thrilled to work with Jennifer Lopez, who will lend her powerful voice to one of the most important causes of our generation – empowering girls and women,” said Kathy Calvin, President and CEO of the UN Foundation. “Today, not a single country in the world has achieved gender equality. This is unacceptable and everyone – including men and boys – has suffered because of it. As the world comes together around the new global goals for sustainable development this month, we have an unprecedented opportunity to effect the necessary change. We can – and must – put the needs and rights of girls and women on center stage – and we are honored to have Jennifer Lopez help us in our efforts.”

Jennifer shared her thoughts on becoming a Global Advocate:

“Becoming a mother has made me more aware of the struggles of women and children throughout the world. While some progress has been made, there is still a lot more work that needs to be done for gender equality and universal access to medical care. I am happy to be joining the UN Foundation and eager to lend my voice and ensure that all girls and women are safe, healthy, educated and empowered,” said Jennifer Lopez.

Congratulations and much love, my friend. I know you will bring the positive light and energy you bring to everything. xoxo
