Shannon Watts, known for her work in gun violence prevention through Moms Demand Action, is expanding her focus on empowering women. In her new book, she encourages women to prioritize their desires over societal obligations. Watts highlights that many women share transformative experiences when guided by passion rather than duty. She asserts that fulfillment should take precedence over the search for one true purpose, advocating for a broader understanding of individual journeys. Currently residing in Florida, Watts remains politically active and open to the possibility of running for office herself.
I watched thousands of other women have the same experience. What I realized was, we transformed the issue of gun safety ... but the issue also transformed us.
Men are socialized to follow their desires. Women are taught to fulfill their obligations.
You can spend a lot of time trying to find out what that one true purpose is and overlook fulfillment.
I love being the underdog.
