6 words of thousands
This week we launched a cool new project alongside SMITH Magazine, inviting people from all walks of life to write their Six Words on Why Moms Matter. Already we’ve gotten over 5,000 submissions, including a handful from some recognizable names:
“Love is what mothers do best” -Christy Turlington Burns
“Mothers tend the seeds of life” -Ellen Gustafson, Co-Founder and Executive VP, FEED Projects LLC
“It all starts with your mother” -Jessica Alba
“Mothers love, nurture, guide, and teach” – Representative Rosa DeLauro (D-CT)
“Carrying heaviest loads with lightest hearts” -Dana Perino, former White House press secretary
“Respecting all mothers, including planet Earth” -Representative Earl Blumenauer (D-OR)
And this is just a very small sample. You can check out all the 6-word submissions here, submit your own, and share it with your mother or an influential woman in your life.
