It's amazing what you can learn couch surfing America.
It's even more amazing how empowered you can become when you realize that people who look like you, sound like you, have the same amount of money and education as you are making a difference to things that matter, to you. I have the stories. I met the people. I (don't do this at home kids) slept on the couches of people I met on Twitter, and I went to all 50 states, one state each week, for 52 weeks and found the people that look like you. Let me introduce you...and while I'm at it, let me introduce the amazing things that happen when you own your crazy and follow that urge to tell a story; your own story gets written.
The question "What would you do if you won the lottery?" was the catalyst that caused Dafna Michaelson Jenet to jump off her 15-year non-profit career track and travel the country seeking stories that empower all of us. Her goal was, and still is: "Changing the mirror we use that reflects who we are as a society". Jenet identifies herself as a little crazy too. Crazy in love with her husband and about her kids. She's also head over heels crazy about meeting real people who make the world a better place, starting with themselves. Dafna Michaelson Jenet lives in Colorado with her husband and their gaggle of kids and dogs.
