We are so glad to announce our latest issue of the Ziva Voices - Magazine. This time on the topic of health and wellness. Too often, wellness is reduced to spa days and surface-level self-care— oftentimes luxuries that seem out of reach for many women. But true wellness is far more profound and essential. It’s not an indulgence; it’s a necessity. It’s not about surviving; it’s about thriving – spiritually, mentally, and physically. Did you know that the World Health Organization defines health as “a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity” ? This holistic view forms the foundation of our approach to wellness in this issue. Let's dive in 👇 https://lnkd.in/gxpp-Qrk #womeninmedia #womensstories #wellness

👉 Opportunity to be featured while amplifying another woman At the heart of Ziva Voices is our commitment to "Equality Through Visibility." We believe that visibility is a key element in creating equality. By shining a bright light on women's stories and achievements, we foster recognition and empowerment, enabling women to thrive and drive social change. For every 6 men we see in the media, we see only 1 woman. Many of you have experienced Ziva Voices—HerStory in the Making through our events. But there is so much more to what we do, and I hope you can be part of it. One of our goals is to amplify 1 million women by 2030. Every woman who participates either as a writer or speaker receives her own profile on our page with backlinks to her main pages. https://lnkd.in/gvZNjadU Another strategy we are using to increase visibility is creating backlinks in every article to writers' websites, social media accounts, and other articles. Backlinks are essential for SEO because they signal to Google that another resource finds your content valuable enough to link to it within its own content. As a website earns additional backlinks, search engines infer that the website possesses valuable content. It works a bit like the CreditScore in the US. We invite every woman to write an article highlighting another woman and amplifying her achievements and work. You can read more about it here: https://lnkd.in/gr4GHYNw Both the writer and the woman being profiled will receive a profile. In addition, we will run a Google ads campaign, increasing the traffic on the profiles and articles and with that visibility. Perhaps you feel inspired to interview someone that you haven't spoken to before Feel free to post any questions in the comment section. You can submit your article here: https://lnkd.in/gWH9KqbF
