On This Day In Women’s History:
February 20, 1805: Angelina Grimké was born.
Angelina Grimké, abolitionist, joined the Philadelphia Female Anti-Slavery Society in 1835 and addressed “mixed” audiences in 1837, wrote An Appeal to the Christian Women of the South criticizing slavery in 1836, after which a price was placed on her head should she return to South Carolina.
Dr. Helen LaKelly Hunt: Transforming Relationships with Safe Conversations
Dr. Helen LaKelly Hunt began a new chapter in her 60s by co-founding Safe Conversations alongside her husband, Dr. Harville Hendrix, in 2013. This program, rooted in over 40 years of experience and supported by neuroscience, aims to enhance communication and strengthen relationships for a more empathetic world.
"For me, starting Safe Conversations later in life with my partner, Harville Hendrix, has been a source of great gratitude," says Hunt. "Over the years, we've assisted countless couples in revitalizing their marriages. Amidst today's increasing divisions, creating a company with a global impact has been profoundly fulfilling. Our mission is to guide individuals from conflict to connection, fostering a safer, more compassionate society for future generations." Dr. Helen LaKelly Hunt's journey demonstrates the transformative potential of pursuing meaningful endeavors later in life, inspiring others to embrace new challenges and make a lasting impact on the world around them.
