\"Ambassador<\/p>\n

Girls and women have played a central role through history\u2014one that continues today and will be part of the future. Advancing the rights of women and girls worldwide is a priority for the United States. We are committed to supporting women by investing in their prospects, security, and wellbeing.<\/p>\n

On the 10th anniversary of International Day of the Girl, we showcase the stories of two of our women leaders, Ambassador MaryKay Carlson and Deputy Chief of Mission (DCM) Heather Variava, who have broken barriers and risen through the ranks with ability and bravery.<\/p>\n

They shared their experiences about what it was like growing up, the advice they would give to their younger selves, and what current leaders need to do to make sure that girls and women across the world are given the resources and opportunities they need to live healthily and achieve their dreams.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n\n\n

What is one significant memory that you have as a child?<\/h2>\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t

\u201cI was fortunate to grow up in a household where both parents were teachers and took an active role in raising us four children. From an early age, I saw both parents cooking, cleaning, and taking care of the family while working full-time\u2014without reference to gender<\/strong>, which, as I look back, was unusual at that time. This helped me see parenting as a partnership and know that I could have a career and still have a wonderful, fulfilling family experience.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

“One of my significant childhood memories is the time I was allowed to ride my bike to school by myself for the first time<\/strong>. I was a second grader at elementary school. I felt very grown up as I pedaled my red bike the one mile from my house to the school. I found out many years later that my mother followed me from a distance to make sure I was okay. I was very lucky to have parents who both empowered and protected me.”<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

When did you first know you wanted to become a leader?<\/h2>\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t

“I\u2019m not sure there was a single event or time when I knew I wanted to be a leader. I suppose, as the oldest of four siblings, I was kind of born into a familial leadership role. I remember being very motivated by combatting injustices and promoting fairness and equal opportunity, such that I stood up to neighborhood bullies and grownups on several occasions to call out unfairness<\/strong>. That led me to serve on what was back then called the biracial council\u2014an early precursor (50 years ago!) to what we would now call a council on diversity, inclusion, equity, and accessibility. Those same issues motivate me to this day.”<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

– Ambassador Carlson<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“When I was a teenager, I saw Geraldine Ferraro run to be Vice President of the United States. This was the first time a woman was a candidate for that office for one of the two major U.S. political parties. Time featured her on the cover their magazine. Seeing Geraldine Ferraro on the cover of Time as one of the top leaders in the United States made a deep impression on me<\/strong>. Even though she didn\u2019t win and it was many years before Vice President Harris would achieve that office, it was one of the first times I saw someone like me, a female, in that role.”<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

“I would say, \u201cDon\u2019t be the first to tell yourself no.<\/strong>\u201d I wish I had failed more! And by that, I mean, I think women and girls should take more risks and strive for greater heights. Don\u2019t be afraid to fail or fall short because you learn a lot and gain important experience in the process of applying for positions, running for office, or just generally putting yourself out there\u2014even when you don\u2019t succeed at first try. Persistence is the key!”<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

“I would tell my younger self to speak up more<\/strong>. As women and girls, especially when I was younger, it was expected that we should keep quiet and get our jobs done. I believe younger people should listen to and respect older people who have experience, but young people, especially women and girls, should also speak up and share their ideas and perspectives.”<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

“My younger self would tell my adult self to do more to promote opportunities for women and girls<\/strong>. Even though we have made great strides over the past years, there is still much more we need to do!”<\/span><\/p>\n

– Ambassador Carlson<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"DCM<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t know if my younger self would have said this exactly, but I believe leaders today need to be brave and strong enough<\/strong> to make decisions that will help people in the long-term. I believe there is too much focus on the short-term or immediate problems. We need to find a way to pursue tough solutions that will make people\u2019s lives (especially young people\u2019s lives) better in the long run. Whether it is climate change, social and economic inequality, or fragile democracies, we need to do more to address these problems now.”<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
