Lisa LaFlamme says Gloria Steinem’s legacy is about the power of using your voice
Journalist Lisa LaFamme believes that young people can learn valuable lessons from Gloria Steinem's legacy, particularly the importance of using one's voice to advocate for justice. Steinem, a prominent feminist figure for over six decades, passed away at the age of 92. LaFamme, a former CTV National News anchor, credits her early exposure to Ms. Magazine, co-founded by Steinem in 1972, as a formative experience.
Now, LaFamme works to empower women in journalism through her organization, Journalists for Human Rights. She emphasizes that the most powerful tool one has is their voice, echoing Steinem's own belief.
