| We Are Linked Not Ranked Bracelets – 2024 Highlights Thank you to everyone who participated in celebrating Gloria Steinem’s 90th birthday and the We Are Linked Not Ranked bracelet earlier this year on March 25! Many people purchased bracelets and several high-profile individuals posted images of themselves wearing the bracelet, spreading its message of unity and/or sharing special messages to Gloria, including actress Brooke Shields, actress and activist Sophia Bush, actress and comedian Amy Schumer, activist/author/entrepreneur Maya Penn, and actress/filmmaker Carmen Gloria Peréz. |

| To further celebrate, Marianne Schnall published an article at ForbesWomen, sharing wisdom from her interviews with Gloria over the years and highlighting her key accomplishments and timeless messages. 'We’re Meant To Be Active And Contribute To The World’: Celebrating Gloria Steinem On Her 90th Birthday shares Gloria’s message of equality and interconnection that inspired the bracelets: “We’re on the cusp of something big, something that says we’re a circle, and not hierarchical. It’s the paradigm that was the paradigm of societies for most of human history, and still is of some, and that is the circle not the pyramid—that we are literally linked in a circle, including with nature, as well as with other human beings.” In April, after attending a special Dr. Jane Goodall event in New York celebrating the renowned primatologist’s 90th birthday, Marianne had the honor of meeting with Jane and presenting her with a We Are Linked Not Ranked bracelet as a birthday gift. In October, Marianne moderated a panel at the Woodstock Film Festival at the world premiere of Beyond the Gaze. She gave three of the supermodels who appear in the documentary—Tyra Banks (pictured), Stacey Williams (pictured) and Carol Alt—the We Are Linked Not Ranked bracelets, and they immediately started modeling them! |
