YNS Live with Together Women Rise

Listen to a new episode of Your Next Stop recorded live on Fireside with host Juliet Hahn featuring Together Women Rise Co-founder Barb Collins, and Communications & Membership Director Wendy Frattolin.

“When ordinary people join together and multiply by thousands, what we can do in the world is just beyond imagination.” - Barb Collins

“If we empowered every single woman and girl around the world, if they were truly treated equally, we would change the world.” - Wendy Frattolin

Together Women Rise is a powerful community of women and allies dedicated to achieving global gender equality. We have hundreds of local chapters across the U.S. where members learn about and advocate for gender equality issues, give grants to organizations that empower women and girls in low-income countries, and build a community to forge meaningful connections that increase our strength and collective impact.

Barbara Fintel Collins is the co-founder of Together Women Rise, a TEDx Speaker, author of Love, Norm, which was written during her father's remarkable remission from stage 4 nonsmoker lung cancer and is a message of hope for those he was leaving behind. It's a story of one man's quest for an equitable world and how a father influenced his daughter to carry on his legacy. Along the way, Barb discovered that the healing power of giving is her most potent medicine. She reveals how altruism helps manage chronic pain in a 2020 TEDx Talk.

Originally from Canada, Wendy Frattolin has a degree in Journalism from Ryerson University in Toronto. She has more than 20 years of experience in the areas of communications, marketing, and development, having worked in both corporate and non-profit settings and as an independent consultant. Wendy joined the Together Women Rise staff in April 2014, where she oversees Together Women Rise’s Member Education and Engagement Program and has overall responsibility for the organization’s communications strategies and activities.
