  • This is a place where every woman has a seat at the table, and where we can affirm, equip, and amplify women’s voices globally. As we launch the Together We Rise Podcast, we couldn't begin without having a conversation with Women Speakers Collective Founder, Danielle Strickland. Listen in for this honest discussion on Women in Ministry: Where are we now?

    Danielle Strickland lets love lead her to inspire, challenge, provoke, and disrupt the present, and to live in the future now. Having lived in different cultures and contexts around the world, she celebrates diversity and deeply longs for wrong things to be made right. Danielle practices following Jesus daily. This pursuit has led to exciting entrepreneurial exploits (like co-founding multiple charities and non-profits) and a whole host of failures (that we don’t as often talk about). All of this has convinced her of the deep need we all have for hope, faith, and love. Her deepest desire is to demonstrate what living that boundless life looks like.

    Danielle has written six books (the latest is The Other Side of Hope), has a podcast called The Right Side Up (which recently celebrated half a million downloads), and speaks to people at events all over the world. Danielle leads Boundless Communications Inc. which launches creative exploits like Women Speakers Collective (liberating voices of women around the globe), IMBY (a tiny home movement IN MY BACKYARD), Brave Global (preventing human trafficking), Infinitum (a way of living deeply), and Hagar’s Voice (support and advocacy for survivors of abuse). Her home is in Vancouver, Canada, where she lives with her three sons and husband, Steve. Danielle loves getting outside, doing new things, physical adventures, and she can’t seem to turn down a free lunch.
